COHEN: "No, it’s not accurate."
WELCH: "And can you please describe for us, to the best of your recollection, you were present, exactly what Mr. Stone said to Mr. Trump?"
COHEN: "It was a short conversation. And he said, 'Mr. Trump, I just want to let you know that I just got off the phone with Julian Assange and in a couple of days there’s going to be a massive dump of e-mails that’s going to severely hurt the Clinton campaign."
