Cohen claims Trump knew of Trump Tower meeting with Russians

I always thought Trump knew about the meeting. Come on – his son, son-in-law and campaign manager met the Russians in his building. If this is true, it is collusion. Lock him up!

However, who knows if Cohen is credible. I hope he has proof.

BREAKING: Michael Cohen claims then-candidate Donald Trump knew in advance of 2016 Trump Tower meeting in which Russians were expected to offer his campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton, sources say https://t.co/EeJhChKCe1 pic.twitter.com/NdpbZTYiU2

BTW..Two months ago, a source close to Trump told me that Cohen told them, the week after his offices were raided by the FBI, that he had no relevant info about the TT meeting b/c he was never an official member of the campaign and never sat in any high level campaign meeting. https://t.co/pwPdJhKaG8

NEWS: Michael Cohen is now claiming that Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting with Russians in real-time. We tallied it up: Trump, Trump Jr., both of their lawyers, and Sarah Sanders denied more than 15 times that Trump knew about the meeting. https://t.co/PetXdbwIpZ

One thing that's a hard sell for Giuliani is to insist Cohen has been lying "for years."

If that's the case, then why was Cohen one of Trump's most trusted confidantes until, well, a month ago?

— Chris Cillizza (@CillizzaCNN) July 27, 2018

Giuliani says that Cohen's claims are worthless if they can't be corroborated. As I just told Chris Cuomo, Mueller can corroborate them with Don Jr.'s phone records: See if he called his dad right after meeting was offered and before it was accepted https://t.co/Q8T4kraqfd

Why would the Trump team know that Cohen was willing to testify to this? Only reason I can think of is if he told them trying to extract a pardon. https://t.co/SVOlddiPuo

— Matthew Miller (@matthewamiller) July 27, 2018

This is why the House Intel Committee should have subpoenaed Donald Trump, Jr.’s phone records. There was a BLOCKED call sandwiched between two calls to the Russians who set up the Trump Tower meeting. Was it @RealDonaldTrump? https://t.co/33HigM5ORR

Sam Nunberg told @jaketapper back in March that Trump knew (h/t @jhseher), and nobody batted an eye because of course Trump knew. 2/ https://t.co/FkUqdblx6f

— Eric Columbus (@EricColumbus) July 27, 2018

Neither Cohen nor Mueller benefits from the public revelation of what Cohen says he’s prepared to tell Mueller or a grand jury. So Trump is the likely source. But he can’t really think it’ll help him by taking away the surprise factor. So what explains this leak? https://t.co/NzcfpUX8l8

Trump lied when he said he won the votes by women

Trump did win the votes of white women, the only women he cares about. Bigot. Liar.

Trump: "I got a tremendous number of women. They said one of the reasons I won was women."

Women voters in 2016:

Clinton: 54%
Trump: 42% https://t.co/A38Q3JbzMZ

"And, you know, for women — as you know, I did very well with women last time. I was hearing I wouldn't have. I'd say, 'Why? Why? Explain.' I did very well with women. " — Trump

Note: he got 41% of the women's vote in 20916https://t.co/IajP0kH3Hm

8/4/18:

Trump lies about it again:

“I am so sorry, women, I’ve let you down. I’ve let the women down.

“Even though I won the women. I won the women, ohhhhh.

“You know when those numbers came, how’s it possible? I never heard I was going to win the women.

…We won the women. That was a little surprise.” pic.twitter.com/mhPQnnbeyS
— Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) August 5, 2018

Trump just claimed that he won the women's vote in the 2016 campaign. He didn’t – and continues to struggle with women voters. But he did win the white women’s vote in 2016. https://t.co/2ippVTatqH

again

Trump again falsely claims that he got 52% of "the women's vote" in the election.

He got 52% of the *white women's* vote. About 42% of all women.

He just keeps telling this lie

At his rally in Erie, Trump claims again that he won 52 percent of women in 2016. That's true only of white women. He doesn't count non-whites. Among all women he won 41 percent. https://t.co/hgab7fWe1Z

and again on 10/13

Trump once again falsely claiming he earned 52% of the women's vote. That's the percentage of white women who voted for Trump. A majority of women overall voted for Clinton over Trump.
