Michael Cohen Says Trump Knew in Advance About Meeting with Russians
--------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump's former personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen is
prepared to tell special counsel Robert Mueller that Trump knew in
advance about a meeting at Trump Tower in June of 2016 where Russians
were offering "dirt" on Hillary Clinton. The revelation, first reported
by CNN, suggests Trump may have lied publicly when he said he had no
knowledge of the meeting, which was attended by Donald Trump Jr., Jared
Kushner, Paul Manafort and others, along with Natalia Veselnitskaya, a
Russian lawyer with ties to Russia's prosecutor general.
