- The special counsel Robert Mueller reportedly has evidence connecting President Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to a shadowy trip to Prague in 2016.
- Details of the alleged trip first emerged in the so-called Steele dossier, which said Cohen traveled to Prague to meet with Kremlin representatives to discuss how to “clean up the mess” resulting from revelations about former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former campaign adviser Carter Page in the summer of 2016.
- If Mueller does have evidence linking Cohen to the Prague trip, it would be one of the most significant connections between the Trump campaign and Russian interests during the election.
The special counsel Robert Mueller has evidence linking Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s longtime lawyer, to a secret trip to Prague in the summer of 2016, McClatchy reported Friday.
Mueller was appointed special counsel last year after Trump fired FBI director James Comey. He is tasked with investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 US election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow to tilt the race in his favor. Mueller is also looking into whether the president sought to obstruct justice when he fired Comey in May.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
