Leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee said this week that Cohen told the panel he was not aware of the Trump Tower meeting before reading news reports about it.
“We recently re-engaged with Mr. Cohen and his team following press reports that suggested he had advance knowledge of the June 2016 meeting between campaign officials and Russian lawyers at Trump Tower,” committee Chairman Richard Burr, a Republican, and the panel’s Democratic vice chairman, Mark Warner, said in a joint statement on Tuesday.
They asked Cohen’s legal team if he stood by his testimony, and the team responded that he did.
Cohen attorney Lanny Davis, in an interview with Reuters, confirmed that Cohen stood by his earlier statement to lawmakers that he did not know whether Trump was aware of the June 9 meeting beforehand.
“He has said he wouldn’t change his answer,” Davis said.
Apparently, Cohen is not willing to perjure himself. Seems his lawyer agrees.
I guess all that supposition that Trump's impeachment was coming, were as usual, just a bit too hopeful.
