Special Counsel Robert Mueller disputes report that Donald Trump told Michael Cohen to lie to Congress

Hindustan Times  

Special Counsel Robert Mueller took the rare step of denying a media report about his Russia investigation, rejecting a story by BuzzFeed News saying that President Donald Trump instructed his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress. “BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s congressional testimony are not accurate,” Peter Carr, a Mueller spokesman, said Friday night in a statement. BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith said on Twitter after the Mueller statement that “we stand by our reporting and the sources who informed it, and we urge the Special Counsel to make clear what he’s disputing.” Cohen Testimony Cohen is scheduled to testify publicly before the House Oversight Committee on Feb. 7. Rudy Giuliani, who represents the president in the Mueller inquiry, said Friday that “any suggestion – from any source – that the president counseled Michael Cohen to lie is categorically false.” After the statement from Mueller’s office, the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., said on Twitter that the media “should quit even pretending to be unbiased” unless it spends “minute for minute — the same amount of time on the death of the latest #FakeNews from @BuzzFeed that they did speculating about “IF IT’S TRUE!”
