THE TIGHTENING NOOSE:
Lawyer Who Questioned Donald Trump About Felix Sater Says He Told 'Flat Untruth' Under Oath (Rhonda Schwartz and Brian Ross, March 7th, 2019, Law & Crime)
The lawyer who questioned Donald Trump under oath in a civil deposition says it is now clear Trump lied about his relationship with Felix Sater, a convicted felon once connected to the Russian mafia."If somebody tells a flat untruth under oath then that's the very definition of perjury," Jared Beck said in an interview on the Law&Crime Network program Brian Ross Investigates.In his testimony, Trump said he barely knew Sater and stated, "If he were sitting in the room right now, I really wouldn't know what he looked like."Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen testified last week before Congress that at the time of the deposition, in 2013, Trump did know Sater, who Cohen said had an office in the Trump organization on the same floor as Trump, the 26th floor.ABC News reported that the Trump Organization had even printed business cards for Sater, identifying him as a "senior adviser" to Donald Trump.
