Macron is definitely the national leader best poised to criticize other countries.
Man, if only the rest of us could run our nations as well as he runs France.
Democrats vowed Friday to investigate allegations that President Trump instructed his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress about Trump’s pursuit of a proposed hotel and condo complex in Moscow during the 2016 presidential campaign.
If confirmed, the allegations would pose a direct threat to the White House by suggesting Trump committed a felony while in office. It’s against the law to suborn perjury, and Congress could consider it an impeachable offense.
Cohen pleaded guilty last year in New York to lying under oath and other crimes, and he will start a three-year prison term in March.
BuzzFeed cited unnamed law enforcement officials who said special counsel Robert S. Mueller III had obtained emails, text messages and other documents from the Trump Organization to support the allegations.
Mueller’s office, however, issued a rare public statement disputing the BuzzFeed account.
“BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate,” Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller, said in the statement released Friday evening.
