- President Donald Trump's alleged involvement in a proposed deal to build one of his eponymous skyscrapers in Moscow reportedly goes deeper than Trump previously acknowledged, a report from BuzzFeed News indicates.
- Trump is said to have personally directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the negotiations on the deal, according to two unnamed law-enforcement sources cited in BuzzFeed's report.
- Cohen initially testified to congressional committees investigating ties between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives that discussions about the Trump Moscow deal ended in January 2016.
- He later admitted to the special counsel Robert Mueller's office that those talks had continued through June of that year. Cohen reportedly told Mueller that Trump asked him to lie.
- Additionally, Mueller learned of Trump's alleged instruction to Cohen through "multiple witnesses" along with documents, internal emails, and text messages from members of the Trump Organization, BuzzFeed reported.
