It was an article that shook Washington and beyond. A report by Buzzfeed News claimed that US President Donald Trump personally directed his former lawyer, Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about talks to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
Another claim by Buzzfeed was that Cohen had also told special counsel Robert Mullers team of prosecutors that after the election, the president personally told him to say the talks ended months earlier than they actually did in order to hide Trumps involvement. BuzzFeed was claimed that Trumps children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Junior played a key role in the negotiations.
