"In His Way, He Was Telling Me To Lie": Michael Cohen Will Testify On Trump Moscow Cover-Up (Emma Loop, 2/27/19, BuzzFeed News)
Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former attorney, plans to tell Congress on Wednesday he lied to them after Trump told him -- "in his way" -- to conceal negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. [...]In a statement, BuzzFeed News spokesperson Matt Mittenthal said Cohen's expected public testimony "reaffirms what he claimed in private to investigators, as we reported last month: President Trump directed him to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow in the heat of the 2016 campaign."
Thus the careful couching of the Special Counsel's non-denial.
