Did President Donald Trump instruct his "fixer" Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about Russia?

Salon  

President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney and personal "fixer" Michael Cohen to lie to Congress in 2017 about a Trump Tower project in Moscow, BuzzFeed News reported late Thursday, citing two federal law enforcement officials involved in investigating the case. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff told the Associated Press that his committee would “do what’s necessary to find out if it’s true,” noting that the claim that Trump had instructed Cohen to lie to legislators “in an effort to curtail the investigation and cover up his business dealings with Russia is among the most serious to date.” "We know that the President has engaged in a long pattern of obstruction," added Rep. Jerry Nadler. However, even as he told the American public that he had no business deals in Russia, Trump and his children Ivanka, the president's eldest daughter and a senior White House adviser, and Donald Trump Jr., the president's eldest son, received "regular, detailed updates" about the real estate project from Cohen, who led the project for them. BuzzFeed News wrote, "Cohen's testimony marks a significant new frontier: It is the first known example of Trump explicitly telling a subordinate to lie directly about his own dealings with Russia."
