Former Trump fixer Michael Cohen acknowledged Thursday that he lied to Congress about the president's interest in a Moscow development project.
Cohen not only lied when he told the Senate and House Intelligence Committees that all discussions about a Trump Tower development in Moscow had ceased in January 2016, federal prosecutors said, but sought to hide efforts to push the project to advance Trump's political prospects during the contentious 2016 campaign and limit his possible legal jeopardy.

Peppered with questions about Cohen's plea deal, which includes an agreement to cooperate with Mueller, Trump repeatedly called his former personal attorney a "liar" and dismissed the Russia project as a well-known – though failed – enterprise.
"He's a weak person," Trump said of Cohen. "Even if he was right, it doesn't matter. I was running my business. ... I wasn't trying to hide anything."
