Michael Cohen claims Trump knew in advance of 2016 Trump Tower meeting:
(CNN) Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, claims that then-candidate Trump knew in advance about the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower in which Russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton, sources with knowledge tell CNN. Cohen is willing to make that assertion to special counsel Robert Mueller, the sources said.
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.
Cohen alleges that he was present, along with several others, when Trump was informed of the Russians’ offer by Trump Jr. By Cohen’s account, Trump approved going ahead with the meeting with the Russians, according to sources.
Ahhhh, the Russians.
Cohen, Weisselberg, Greenblatt: are we sure that Putin is Trump’s puppet master and not Netanyahu.
Now that Mueller has subpoenaed Weisselberg, the next subpoena should be delivered to Jason Greenblatt.
Greenblatt has worked for Trump since 1997.
He’s the executive vice president and chief legal council to Trump and the Trump Organization, and served as Trump’s Israel policy advisor in the campaign.
Greenblatt is a militant Zionist, long-time friend of Netanyahu and the Fascist Likud Party, and a big donor to AIPAC.
Trump appointed Greenblatt a special envoy to the Middle East and Jarod Kushner’s handler on Trump’s quest for peace in the ME.
Greenblatt says that “West Bank settlements are not an obstacle to peace.”
It was Greenblatt who convinced Trump to declare Jerusalem Israel’s “eternal and undivided capital.”
Greenblatt was instrumental in helping Netanyahu to persuade Trump that it was a good idea to pass a law in Israel making Israel the racist, apartheid “Jewish nation-state.”
What role did Israel play in helping to get Trump elected?
Was there any collusion?
