Trump says Russian business efforts 'very legal & very cool'

Trump repeatedly has said he had no ties to Russia. The US special counsel’s office is investigating Moscow for alleged interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion with Trump’s campaign.


Russia has denied US intelligence conclusions that it meddled and Trump has frequently decried the investigation as a “witch hunt”. Both have denied any collusion.


Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has brought charges or secured convictions against more than two dozen Russian nationals and entities, as well as a number of Trump’s associates, including former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who faced a hearing on Friday morning to schedule his sentencing. Mueller this week said Manafort had been lying to federal prosecutors despite his plea deal.


Cohen, who had already pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations and other financial crimes in a separate case brought by federal prosecutors in New York, on Thursday said he had lied to Congress about a proposed Trump Organisation skyscraper project in Moscow.
