U.S. President Donald Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the situation surrounding attempts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, a new report from BuzzFeed said, citing two federal law enforcement officials involved in investigating the matter. Cohen, who served for years as Trump's personal lawyer, pleaded guilty in November to lying to Congress about a Trump real estate project in Russia, and the extent of the president's involvement in and knowledge of that deal.
