Mueller's office rejects report to Cohen's perjury as false

The office of the US special investigator Robert Mueller has rejected a report of the online portal "Buzzfeed" as wrong, according to President Donald Trump his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to commit perjury in front of Congress instigated. Also, this newspaper reported about the article. The presentation of witness statements was wrong.

"Buzzfeed" wrote, citing two anonymous law enforcement officials, Cohen had made according to his own description of his intentional false statements by 2017, the personal instruction of the President. In Cohen's statements to the intelligence committees, it went to the planned construction of a Trump Tower in Moscow.

Portal does not remain in the case of presentation

"Buzzfeeds description of specific statements to the office of the special investigator and the presentation of documents and witness statements obtained by this office, with a view to Michael Cohen's congressional testimony, are properly," said office spokesman Peter Carr on Friday night (local time). The denial of it is a rare public statement from Mueller's office.

"Buzzfeed" not spread this opinion of the Mueller-offices themselves via his Twitter channel. Editor-in-chief Ben Smith explained, however, the Portal will stay with the representation and standing of both the research as well as to the sources used. Mueller had to make it clear, what exactly should be have been wrong, stressed Smith.

The report was provided on Friday in Washington for considerable excitement. Politicians of the opposition Democrats called for a charge against Trump because of misleading the judiciary, others stated that in order for an impeachment'm closer to procedure.

Trump had rejected the accusation on Friday already as a lie. Cohen "to lie to reduce his prison time," he countered in the short message service Twitter. Cohen was sentenced in December to three years in prison, among other things, due to his false statements to the Congress. Also the presidential spokesman, Hogan Gidley referred to Cohen as a proven "liar". The allegations were "ridiculous" and lacked "any evidence and credibility," said Gidley the TV channel Fox News.

Trump has repeatedly denied any cooperation with Russia during the presidential election in 2016. The investigation by special investigator Robert Mueller to this question, the President referred to repeatedly as a "witch-hunt".

Once one of the most Trusted

Cohen worked for more than ten years for Trump and was considered one of the most important problem-solvers and closest Confidants. He has considerable insider knowledge of the business and private relations to the President. Cohen gave to investigators, to the committees false statements to have been made by the Trump group pursued the project of a high-rise tower with luxury apartments in Moscow. Contrary to his original statements, the project should have been followed up until June 2016 - so up to a point, as Trump is already as good as safe for the Republican presidential candidate.

Cohen had said to the committees, the Trump Tower project had already been in January 2016, and buried, before the start of the Republican primaries. Cohen told the investigators that he had frequently consulted with Trump on the Moscow project as originally from him.

The chronology is highly controversial, as it is a question of whether Trump pursued still at an advanced Phase of his election campaign, business interests in Russia - which, in turn, could have its political attitude towards Moscow's influence. Trump has denied the "shops" in Russia. (sda)
