During his testimony, Michael Cohen revealed that he had made false statements to Congress regarding the Trump Tower Moscow real estate project. Specifically, Cohen admitted to lying about the number of times he claimed to have spoken to Mr. Trump about the project and the timeline of those conversations.
When asked why he had lied, Cohen explained that he was following Mr. Trump's directive to downplay any connections to Russia. He stated, 'Because I was staying on Mr. Trump’s message that there was no Russia, Russia, Russia, and again in coordination with the joint defense team that’s what was preferred.'
