Cohen: ‘I Want to Apologize,’ Last Time I Testified Before Congress, ‘I Lied’

‘The last time I appeared before Congress I came to protect Mr. Trump’

EXCERPT:

COHEN: “And before going further, I want to apologize to each member, to you as Congress as a whole. The last time I appeared before Congress I came to protect Mr. Trump. Today, I am here to tell the truth about Mr. Trump. I lied to Congress when Mr. Trump stopped negotiating the Moscow tower project in Russia. I stated that we stopped negotiating in January of 2016. That was false. Our negotiations continued for months later during the campaign. Mr. Trump did not directly tell me to lie to Congress. That’s not how he operates.”
