United States, Cnn: Trump knew the meeting with the Russians against Hillary Clinton

US President Donald Trump knew in advance the Trump Tower meeting in New York during which the Russians were to offer compromising documents to Hillary Clinton for his presidential campaign. The meeting was held in June 2016 and was attended by eldest son Donald Trump Junior. CNN reports, citing sources close to investigations that explain how to reveal it would be former personal attorney Michael Cohen's mate, ready to testify about it before the special prosecutor who is investigating the Russiagate, Robert Mueller.

The story of Cohen would be in flagrant contradiction with what the American president claimed, who always denied knowing anything about the meeting. A version supported by his son Donald Junior. But Cohen reportedly claimed to have attended the meeting with the Russians on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, along with other Trump activists, and would have argued that at some point, then Trump 's candidate had been informed of the offer of Russians by his son. Cohen also adds that Trump agreed to go ahead with the meeting. The former tycoon's attorney would have no evidence of what he said, as other recordings do in secret.
