Michael Cohen willing to assert to Mueller that Trump knew and approved about the infamous Trump tower meeting. He says he witness the conversation between Trump and Trump Jr. about upcoming meeting. Lets hope there's a tape on this one too.

It wasn't Cohen's attorney that leaked that info to the press. It was Trump's people. Are they trying to outsmart somebody?

OOPS! Here are some links to story: www.cnn.com/2018/07/26/politics/michael-cohen-donald-trump-june-2016-meeting-knowledge/index.html (CNN)Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, claims that then-candidate Trump knew in advance about the June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower in which Russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton, sources with knowledge tell CNN. Cohen is willing to make that assertion to special counsel Robert Mueller, the sources said. Cohen's claim would contradict repeated denials by Trump, Donald Trump Jr., their lawyers and other administration officials who have said that the President knew nothing about the Trump Tower meeting until he was approached about it by The New York Times in July 2017. Cohen alleges that he was present, along with several others, when Trump was informed of the Russians' offer by Trump Jr. By Cohen's account, Trump approved going ahead with the meeting with the Russians, according to sources. nypost.com/2018/07/26/cohen-trump-approved-2016-trump-tower-meeting-with-russians/

This news gives one grounds for hope, that always feels good.
I remember back in the Watergate days developments seemed to come so slow, was on pins & needles, especially when Nixon fired Archibald Cox.

Yes, I know, I don't think they are fooling anyone except Trump people, it's been clear for some time who leaked that info, at least to you, me and many others. It's just great that if Cohen can prove he was there and heard the conversation between Trump and Trump Jr, now that's something new that's not been in the news and if there are some tapes that others know nothing about, now that would be real gold.

Yes, it would be great if Cohen could prove his accusations. It just bothers me "why" Trump people released this news and not Cohen's attorney.
I'd like to see Jr taken down and Trump. But, we all know daddy will pardon him and anyone else close to them.

I understood that while Cohen overheard Trump approving this meeting there were others in the room, so maybe more will or have confirmed???....maybe Hope Hicks?
