发帖数: 5309 | 1 Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, asserts
that Trump knew in advance about a meeting at Trump Tower in June 2016
between his son Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer, in contradiction to
Trump Jr.'s congressional testimony in May 2017, a knowledgeable source told
NBC News on Thursday night.
The source told NBC News that Cohen is willing to inform Robert Mueller, the
special counsel investigating alleged Russian interference in the 2016
presidential campaign, that Trump Jr. told his father about the meeting.
Cohen's assertion was first reported by CNN.
Lanny Davis, a lawyer for Cohen, said he had no comment.
Trump Jr.'s attorney, Alan Futerfas, indicated that the report was false.
"Donald Trump Jr. has been professional and responsible throughout the
Mueller and congressional investigations," he said Thursday night. "We are
very confident of the accuracy and reliability of the information that has
been provided by Mr. Trump Jr. and on his behalf."
The president's attorney, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, also
dismissed the report, saying, "Michael Cohen is not credible."
"Michael Cohen can't be believed unless it's corroborated five times,"
Giuliani said in a telephone interview. "I talked to the president about
this at length before, as well as other witnesses, and it's not true.

"Why would you expect it would be true from someone like Cohen?" he asked. "
A lawyer who would tape their own client is a lawyer without any character."
Giuliani's comment was a reference to an audiotape Davis made public on
Wednesday of a secretly recorded conversation in 2016 that shows Trump
mentioning "cash" in relation to a possible payment involving a former
Playboy model who alleges she had a year-long affair with Trump. | k**********4

Trump did not dictate the Trump Tower response. Until he did.
President Trump's lawyers now say he dictated Donald Trump Jr.'s response to
the 2016 Trump Tower meeting, contradicting months of previous assertions.

The natural first reaction is: Of course.
Of course Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian lawyer who attended the meeting
with Donald Trump Jr. and others at Trump Tower in June 2016 had closer
ties with Russian officials than she let on.
And of course there would now be allegations — secondhand, but credible —
that President Trump himself knew that the meeting was scheduled and what it
was about before it took place.
After all, denial after denial from those involved in the meeting, statement
after statement, has crumbled away or been perforated with holes. The
scenario that seemed at the outset to be worst for Trump politically is
increasingly the one in which we seem to be headed.
It’s long been the case that giving Trump the benefit of the doubt on
having not known about the meeting in advance means setting aside mounting
evidence and Trump’s habit of denying things that are later proved true.
Trump said explicitly last July that he didn’t know about the meeting
before it happened. But, then, that’s what his campaign said about an
alleged payment to former Playboy model Karen McDougal when that news broke
in October 2016. A conversation between Trump and his longtime attorney and
problem-solver Michael Cohen discussing that payment the prior month emerged
this week.
On Thursday night, both NBC and CNN reported that Cohen, per a source close
to him, was prepared to tell investigators that he was present when Trump Jr
. told his father about the possibility of meeting with the Russian lawyer
to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. The meeting stemmed from an email sent by a
music publicist to Trump Jr. in which the Trump campaign was promised “some
official documents and information” that constituted “very high level and
sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support
for Mr. Trump.”
Trump Jr. famously replied: “If it’s what you say I love it.” He wanted
to speak with Emin Agalarov, the publicist’s client, before finalizing
details.
Three days later, Trump Jr. and Agalarov spoke (a call Trump Jr. claimed not
to remember but that Agalarov did). Call logs suggest that Agalarov called
Trump Jr. at 4:04 p.m. on June 6 and that they spoke for a minute or two.
About 20 minutes later, Trump Jr. received a call from a blocked number,
after which he immediately called Agalarov back. The call lasted three
minutes, and, the next morning, the meeting was set up (after Trump Jr.
placed calls to both campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner, the
other two meeting attendees — calls Trump Jr. says he didn’t remember).
The same evening as the calls to Agalarov, after Trump won several
Republican primary contests, he gave a victory speech.
“I am going to give a major speech on probably Monday of next week, and we
’re going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the
Clintons,” he said during the speech. “I think you’re going to find it
very informative and very, very interesting. I wonder if the press will want
to attend, who knows.”
He never gave that speech about the Clintons. Nor, it seems, did Trump Jr.,
Manafort and Kushner get the promised dirt about Clinton — or, at least,
they didn’t get anything they found usable.
Enter Veselnitskaya, who at first claimed to have no connections to the
Kremlin.
Instead, she was a lawyer who also lobbied to overturn a law called the
Magnitsky Act, which imposed sanctions on Russian officials in retaliation
for the death of a corruption whistleblower named Sergei Magnitsky. That was
a subject central to the meeting at Trump Tower, she claimed, including
that lifting the sanctions would mean that Russia would end its opposition
to Americans adopting Russian children.
In his initial statement about the meeting, Trump Jr. focused solely on the
adoption issue as the topic of discussion. That statement was dictated by
Trump.
But Veselnitskaya’s relationship to the Kremlin and the subject matter that
was discussed were both more complicated than at first presented. Earlier
this year, she admitted having ties to the Kremlin, including Russia’s
chief prosecutor. (This, the first emails to Trump Jr. claimed, was the
person who was offering the dirt.) On Thursday night, the Associated Press
reported on emails and other documents that more closely linked her to
government officials and work.
It also seems, though, that the “dirt” was offered. It just wasn’t great
dirt.
Notes taken by Manafort during the meeting suggest that the Magnitsky Act
was discussed, as was Bill Browder, Magnitsky’s employer and the main
driver of the law.
Veselnitskaya apparently made a case in that meeting that was similar to the
one that Russian President Vladimir Putin offered during that news
conference with Trump last week: Browder had given large contributions of
allegedly illegally acquired money to the Clinton campaign. (Browder denies
any wrongdoing; the case against him and his company is generally regarded
as trumped-up by the Russian government, and no evidence of large donations
to the campaign exists.)
There are still question marks.
Was Cohen with Trump when the then-candidate called his son and was told
about the Russia meeting? Did he find out some other way? Is the
presentation from that source close to Cohen accurate? (Former New York
mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, now on Trump’s legal team, says Cohen is lying.)
More broadly — and more subject to interpretation — is the key question:
What does this tell us about Trump’s relationship with Russia before the
election?
The bad news for Trump is that, so far, the safe bet has consistently been
to assume that the Trump Tower situation is more incriminating than Trump’s
team would have you believe. The revelations on Thursday further bolster
that idea. | Y***i
