Asked Wednesday what evidence Michael Cohen had that President Donald Trump knew ahead of time about the June 2016 Trump Tower “dirt” meeting, Cohen’s attorney Lanny Davis said simply: “I can only say that he was present during a discussion with [Donald Trump] Jr. and dad, and beyond that, his testimony to the Senate Intelligence and House Intelligence committees was accurate.”
Cohen on Tuesday maintained that his earlier testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee, in which he claimed he personally had no advanced knowledge of the meeting, was still accurate.

If he didn’t have foreknowledge per previous congressional testimony then the meeting in question happened after the fact?
it was locker room treason.
that never gets old btw.
Chardonnay. Why do you ask?
He didn’t have advance knowledge of the meeting, but knows that Trump did must mean that after the meeting actually occurred, he heard Trump and Jr. discussing the meeting in a manner suggesting Trump knew all about it before the fact. At least, that’s what I surmise.
Obviously Trump knew, but at the same time obviously Cohen and his lawyer are full of shit. A resistible force meets a movable object.
