Trump has repeatedly condemned the Mueller probe as a “witch hunt” while denying any collusion with MoscowUS President Donald Trump pursued a business deal to erect a tower bearing his name in Moscow throughout 2016, his attorney said on Sunday, raising new questions for congressional investigators looking into possible ties between the president and Russia. “That raises a whole host of questions that the American public needs an answer to and the Congress needs an answer to,” Warner said. Cohen pleaded guilty in November to charges he lied to Congress when he testified that the discussions ended in January 2016. Instead, Cohen said they actually continued until that June, after Trump had clinched the Republican nomination. The president has provided written answers to questions from Mueller on the Moscow project, according to Giuliani.
