President Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump, a senior adviser for his 2020 campaign, on Friday sought to downplay an explosive new report that Donald Trump instructed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about a real estate project in Moscow.
“I will tell you, I think Michael Cohen is a very desperate man,” Lara Trump told Fox News. “I think he holds no water whatsoever. We’ve seen that he has perjured himself in the past. It’s ridiculous. It’s all made up. And I always say that the truth will come out with these things. And I think you will see the truth come out. And I think sadly Michael Cohen is a fraud, and he is trying to get his last couple minutes of fame.”
BuzzFeed reported early Friday that Trump had directed Cohen to lie to Congress about a Trump Tower project in Moscow. Late last year, Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress, among other federal crimes, and has been sentenced to serve three years in prison.

What a dope! Did she read the Buzzfeed story?
Sorry, Honey, but anyone with the last name of T rumpp, especially those named T rumpp who appear on Fox State News Service have demonstrated time and time again that what they say publicly to exonerate themselves is bullshit.
We believe you. We really, really do.
For all of Cohen’s faults and previous lies, I really don’t think that his current situation is the kind of fame that he is looking for.
Ah, the age old adage…the other guy is lying. I have noticed a tendency that few criminals have partners that honest to goodness saints, little old ladies, or innocent children. Look away. Ask her the direct question: Did Donald Trump ever have meetings with Cohen about Trump Moscow, yes or no? If she doesn’t know, then she can STFU. She’s pulling a Sarah Sanders here.
