Michael Cohen, the president’s former personal attorney, said Donald Trump knew in advance about a meeting during the 2016 campaign in which Russians were expected to offer negative information about his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, according to a report by CNN.
Citing sources with knowledge of Cohen’s claims, CNN said the attorney is willing to share that information with special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russia’s attempt to influence the 2016 presidential election.
The meeting occurred at Trump Tower in June 2016 with Donald Trump Jr., son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign manager Paul Manafort. They met with a lawyer linked to the Kremlin and a Russian businessman who initially had offered to disclose dirt on Clinton.
Trump has repeatedly denied having any knowledge about the meeting and told The New York Times in July 2017 that he “didn’t know anything” about it.
It’s the latest fracture between Cohen and his longtime client. Earlier this week, Cohen’s legal team released a secretly recorded conversation made in September 2016 in which the attorney and Trump discuss a payment to former Playboy model Karen McDougal. She has alleged that she had a months-long affair with Trump in 2006.

Lets hear from Witchy :
tRUMP is not to be believed. Not to be trusted. Not allowed to bring down the country further. He is a scourge who must be relieved of his position. Here is to hoping that the GOP finally puts their adult pants on and does the right thing, and support the country and dump the orange charlatan, carnival barker, snake oil sales guy.
All this time I thought Mueller would sink tRUMP....was I wrong, tRUMP 's attorney will sink him....'I LOVE IT'...Only the Trump zombies believed Cheeto the rest of America knows that tRUMP LIES 100% of the time.
I look forward to Sarah Sanders' informative answers to this at the briefing tomorrow--- oh who am I kidding. She's going to avoid that podium like a coward.
I think the only way trump supporters will abandon him at this point is if he turns into a black man.
Dear Mr. Pu**y Grabbing tRUMP,
"When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history."
