Despite an embarrassing takedown of a report purporting to find evidence President Donald Trump instructed his former lawyer to lie to the FBI, House Democrats still plan to investigate the report’s initial claims.
Last Thursday, Buzzfeed published a “bombshell” report claiming to have sources who said Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former lawyer, was instructed by the president himself to lie to Congress about past negotiations involving a proposed Trump Tower in Moscow. No other media outlets could confirm the report, but decided to dedicate pages and screen time to the claim with the irresponsible qualifier “if true.” Friday evening, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office released a statement calling the Buzzfeed report “not accurate.”
