"Questions have been raised about whether I know of direct evidence that Mr Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia," Cohen told the House Oversight and Reform Committee.Cohen, who is about to go to jail for three years after admitting financial crimes and lying to Congress, said he believes Mr Trump had advance knowledge of a June 2016 meeting between campaign members, including his son, and Russians peddling"dirt" on election rival Hillary Clinton.
Mr Trump himself"lied about it because he stood to make hundreds of millions of dollars on the Moscow real estate project."
