"Cohen is willing to make that assertion to Special Counsel Robert Mueller," the article reveals. "Cohen’s claim would contradict repeated denials by Trump, Donald Trump Jr., their lawyers and other administration officials who have said that the President knew nothing about the Trump Tower meeting until he was approached about it by the New York Times in July 2017."
Trump is saying Cohen is now lying, but considering that prosecutors now possess at least a hundred recordings Cohen made plus hundreds of thousands of documents, there may be hard evidence showing that the President is the liar.
While Cohen may not yet have technically flipped, it's pretty clear he's effectively done so. He's waiting to be questioned by Mueller's people and seems eager to tell all.
If it can be proven Trump knew about the meeting in advance, then he potentially has committed several felonies under federal law. It's also ironic that while Trump repeatedly says his campaign did not engage in collusion, this shows that is a lie and that he was up to his neck in it.
More should shake out on this story soon. Stay tuned.
