Like This Week: Trump Allegedly Directed Cohen To Lie To Congress About Moscow ProjectJanuary 18, 2019 at 6:30 PM This week brought the clearest-cut example to date that President Trump allegedly violated federal law while in office. BuzzFeed reported that Trump personally directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about plans to develop a Trump Tower in Moscow during the 2016 campaign. Two federal law enforcement sources told BuzzFeed that Trump ordered Cohen to falsely claim that work on the project ended months earlier than it did in order to obscure his involvement.

Like What To Expect The Public Will See From The Mueller ReportJanuary 18, 2019 at 6:30 AM Many details about the so-called Mueller report remain speculative: when it will be delivered, what form it will take, what level of detail it will contain.
But this week, attorney general nominee Bill Barr provided a better sense of just how much of the special counsel’s report the public will see in the likely event that he is confirmed by the GOP-controlled Senate. The short answer: not much.

Like Giuliani changes his story on Trump campaign collusion with RussiaJanuary 17, 2019 at 1:57 PM By ERIC TUCKER
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani now says he “never said there was no collusion” between Russia and members of Trump’s 2016 White House campaign, contradicting public positions that he and his client have taken.
Giuliani, who previously called the idea of Russian collusion “total fake news,” appears to have left open the possibility of improper contacts, in light of court filings in the past year that have detailed ties between Trump aides and Russia.
