Special Counsel Rebukes BuzzFeed Claim Trump Told Cohen to Lie to Congress
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a rare move, the office of special counsel Robert Mueller issued a
statement Friday denying the principal claim of a damning Buzz Feed
article which said that the special counsel had evidence that Trump
directed his former personal attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress
about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. Buzz Feed told CNN
Sunday it remains "100 percent behind" their reporting.
