CONGRESS/LEGAL/MICHAEL COHEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP BUSINESS: “Michael Cohen on Wednesday [3-6-19] provided the House Intelligence Committee with new documents showing edits to the false written statement he delivered to Congress in 2017 about the Trump Organization’s pursuit of the Trump Tower Moscow project into the 2016 campaign season, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. The documents Cohen provided are intended to further explain his public testimony last week, in which Cohen said that President Donald Trump’s then-personal lawyer Jay Sekulow made changes to his statement to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, and that it was reviewed ahead of time by lawyers like Abbe Lowell, an attorney for Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, the President’s daughter and son-in-law who are both White House advisers. It’s unclear what Cohen’s documents show was specifically changed in the statement. Cohen testified Wednesday behind closed doors at the House Intelligence Committee.”
