Cohen's Lawyer Walks Back Claim Trump Knew of Russia Meeting

Another day, another twist in what Michael Cohen may — or may not — know about Donald Trump, Russian dirt and the 2016 election. Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis, is walking back his assertions that his client, the president's former "fixer," could tell a special prosecutor that Trump had prior knowledge of a meeting with a Russian lawyer to get damaging information on Hillary Clinton. Davis told The Washington Post over the weekend that he "could not independently confirm" the claims he made on television last week that Cohen witnessed Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., telling his father about the Trump Tower meeting beforehand.
