Donald Trump claimed his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen asked him directly for a pardon and lied about it, contradicting Cohen's dramatic testimony before the House last month
Thursday that Cohen had indeed directed his prior attorney to explore a potential pardon with Trump's team.
“Prior to Michael Cohen’s decision to leave the ‘Joint Defense Group’ and tell the truth on July 2, 2018, Michael was open to the ongoing ‘dangling’ of a possible pardon by Trump representatives privately and in the media,” Davis said in a statement. “During that time period, he directed his attorney to explore possibilities of a pardon at one point with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani as well as other lawyers advising President Trump.
On Friday, Cohen almost immediately refuted Trump's accusation. "Just another set of lies by @POTUS @realdonaldtrump. Mr. President...let me remind you that today is #InternationalWomensDay. You may want use today to apologize for your own #lies and #DirtyDeeds to women like Karen McDougal and Stephanie Clifford."
