Michael Cohen: Jay Sekulow told me to lie to Congress

President Trump’s attorney Jay Sekulow told Michael Cohen to deceive members of Congress about when negotiations to construct a Trump Tower in Moscow concluded, Cohen testified to lawmakers.

Cohen, Trump’s former fixer, told the House Intelligence Committee earlier this year that Sekulow instructed him to issue a statement to lawmakers in 2017 that said talks about the project ended by Jan. 31, 2016, ahead of the Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses, the Washington Post reports. Cohen has since admitted the project was discussed up until June 2016.
