Trump slams bombshell report that claimed he told Cohen to LIE to Congress

The office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller has called the bombshell BuzzFeed report claiming President Donald Trump told his former lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress false, and Trump has also fired back.

'Remember it was Buzzfeed that released the totally discredited "Dossier," paid for by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats (as opposition research), on which the entire Russian probe is based!' he posted late Friday night.

'A very sad day for journalism, but a great day for our Country!'. He then followed that up by tweeting: 'Fake News is truly the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!'.

The President's response comes after the special counsel's office issued a rare public statement disputing the accuracy of the news report saying that Trump told his personal attorney Cohen to lie to Congress.

The special counsel's spokesman Peter Carr says: 'BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony are not accurate'.

Meanwhile Ben Smith, editor-in-chief at BuzzFeed, tweeted: 'In response to the statement tonight from the Special Counsel's spokesman: We stand by our reporting and the sources who informed it, and we urge the Special Counsel to make clear what he's disputing.

Making his way around to CNN's Anderson Cooper, Smith further requested clarification from the special counsel's office and defended his reporters, Jason Leopold and Anthony Cormier.

'We're really confident in these specific sources and in the stories these reporters told,' Smith said after referencing two unidentified law enforcement officials from the original story that reported Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress about the Moscow real estate project.

Smith also called into MSNBC to speak with Chris Hayes saying 'the special counsel issued this very vague statement, we are eager to know what he's talking about'. The statement by Robert Mueller's office on Friday night doesn't cite any specific errors.

Trump had earlier Friday evening spent several hours retweeting several supporters. Shortly after the statement from Mueller's office was released Trump retweeted: 'Sadly so many will never get the memo that it was fake!'.

Buzzfeed's bombshell report claimed the president directed Cohen to lie in his testimony to Congress about a Trump Organization tower deal in Moscow that continued through the summer of 2016.

The president also retweeted the Newsmax host John Cardillo saying: 'I told you all that the BuzzFeed story was nonsense. Then he also drew attention to podcaster Dan Bongino's commentary, 'We called it. FAKE NEWS! "More Buzzfeed B.S."'.

He goes on to retweet Sebastian Gorka posting a photo of Trump's inauguration, and podcaster Bongino asserting Trump's job approval among Latinos is up during the government shutdown.

Earlier, New Yorker reporter Ronan Farrow had tweeted his own misgivings about the BuzzFeed story, writing: 'I can't speak to Buzzfeed's sourcing, but, for what it's worth, I declined to run with parts of the narrative they conveyed based on a source central to the story repeatedly disputing the idea that Trump directly issued orders of that kind.

CNN also written previously that the former Los Angeles Times, Dow Jones, and Vice News reporter Leopold had a 'checkered past' when it came to accuracy of his reports during the George W. Bush administration, prior to the Mueller office statement.

Leopold's investigative partner, Anthony Cormier, however, was a member of a Pulitzer Prize-winning team in 2016 at the Tampa Bay Times prior to joining BuzzFeed. He collaborated on an investigative series into the neglected mental health system in Florida.

He joined BuzzFeed's investigative unit shortly afterwards. The president's son, Donald Trump Jr.

, meanwhile, has been gleefully firing off tweets about the news outlet retweeting the Mueller office rebuttal with nothing but a series of 'crying laughing' emojis, and retweeting another post that had made the statement that either Trump is finished or BuzzFeed is with the comment 'You were saying??'.

Since the statement put out by Mueller's office, the President's eldest son Donald Trump Jr has been tweeting and retweeting rapidly taking shots at BuzzFeed and other media outlets reporting around the story including The Daily Beast and CNN.

Buzzfeed's report, if true, would constitute subornation of perjury – a felony crime. Obstruction of justice was the first order of impeachment against President Richard Nixon.

Trump blasted his former lawyer and fixer Cohen on Friday as a liar who was 'trying to reduce his jail time' when he reportedly told Mueller that a scheme to build a Trump Tower project in Moscow extended through the 2016 Republican National Convention and into the months before Trump became president-elect.

Earlier Friday Cohen returned to his Manhattan apartment Friday after getting medical treatment – with his arm appearing to be in a sling. Cohen advisor Lanny Davis said Cohen had gone into the hospital for pre-scheduled shoulder surgery.

Cohen could be seen with his left arm covered, hanging in a sling. He was holding a full-size white pillow against his body. His right hand had a small bandage of the kind used to cover a small wound by an IV.

He also wore a red identification bracelet of the kind distributed by hospitals.

Kim and Trump to meet for a second summit near end of Feb. - Duration: 2:30.

Our top story this evening.

A second summit between North Korea and the United States will take place in February.

Following negotiations between Pyeongyang and Washington, the White House officially

announced on Friday... that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. president Donald Trump

will meet for the second time late next month.

The location however, has yet to be announced.

Park Hee-jun reports.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump,... will meet "near the end of

February," according to the White House on Friday.

But the venue has not been announced,... and is set to be revealed later.

The news came after a 90-minute meeting between the North's top negotiator Kim Yong-chol and

President Trump at the White House.

He earlier met Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and U.S. Special Representative for North

Korea, Stephen Biegun.

They discussed efforts to implement the promises made during the two countries' first bilateral

summit in Singapore.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders described the meeting as "productive," but

added that sanctions will remain in place until North Korea's FFVD.

"The United States is going to continue to keep pressure and sanctions on North Korea

until we see fully and verifiable denuclearization.

We've had very good steps in good faith from the North Koreans in releasing the hostages

and other moves and so we're going to continue those conversations.

The President looks forward to next his next meeting."

The spotlight is now on the follow-up negotiations.

North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui and Stephen Biegun are expected to meet this

weekend in Stockholm,... for the first time since Biegun took his post in August.

With Pyeongyang and Washington having made the summit official,... the logistics for

the meeting is likely to be sorted out by Choe and Biegun.

According to Seoul's foreign ministry,...

South Korea's nuclear envoy Lee Do-hoon is also in the Swedish capital.

Two-way or three-way discussions could get underway,... which are likely to focus on

the agendas for the upcoming summit.

The latest announcement breaks the months-long deadlock between North Korea and the United

States.

But there's an unfamiliar silence-- no contact with the press nor tweets by Trump.

He's been quiet about the letters he received from Kim,... and regarding any recent developments

concerning North Korea.

The extra discretion could mean there's still a long way ahead... before the two sides can

find a compromise on the North's denuclearization.

It's also being viewed as a power play to maintain Washington's upperhand in the February

summit.

Gov. Polis: Trump Can't Win Colorado in 2020 - Duration: 4:57.

SOLEDAD: I'M SOLEDAD O'BRIEN.

WELCOME TO "MATTER OF FACT." THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS IN

NOVEMBER DIDN'T JUST USHER IN THE MOST DIVERSE CONGRESS IN HISTORY BUT ALSO CHANGED THE ELECTORAL MAP AHEAD OF THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

STATES THAT WERE ONCE SOLIDLY REPUBLICAN, LIKE GEORGIA AND ARIZONA, COULD BE IN PLAY FOR THE DEMOCRATS.

WHILE TRADITIONAL SWING STATES LIKE OHIO AND IOWA HAVE MOVED FROM PURPLE TO RED.

ANOTHER STATE THAT HAS SEEN A POLITICAL SHIFT IS COLORADO, WHERE REPUBLICANS SUFFERED THEIR BIGGEST DEFEAT IN MODERN STATE HISTORY.

DEMOCRATS NOW CONTROL BOTH THE STATE HOUSE AND SENATE, AND MOST MAJOR STATE OFFICES, INCLUDING GOVERNOR, ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND SECRETARY OF STATE.

THE G.O.P.'S WIDESPREAD DEFEAT IN COLORADO LED CONSERVATIVE COLUMNIST GEORGE WILL TO WARN IT'S A GLIMPSE OF THE NATION'S FUTURE.

COLORADO'S NEWLY ELECTED GOVERNOR, DEMOCRAT JARED POLIS, JOINS US FROM DENVER.

SO NICE SO SEE YOU, GOVERNMENT THANKS FOR TALKING WITH ME.

GOVERNOR POLIS: A PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU, SOLEDAD.

SO LET'S TALK FIRST ABOUT COLORADO BEING PART OF THE NATIONAL PICTURE.

DEMOCRATS NOW OUTNUMBER REPUBLICANS.

THAT'S LIKE THE FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS THAT THAT'S HAPPENED, AND IT'S A HUGE SWING FOR A PLACE THAT REALLY USED TO BE A VERY RELIABLE REPUBLICAN SO WHAT'S HAPPENED THAT HAS

REALLY SHIFTED COLORADO?

GOV. POLIS: WELL, COLORADO IS A REAL SWING STATE.

YOU HAVE NEARLY EVEN NUMBERS OF REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS LAST ELECTION IS THE VOTERS GAVE THE DEMOCRATS A CHANCE TO GOVERN BUT THAT'S ONLY AS GOOD AS WE PRODUCE FOR THEM.

SO IT'S ONLY AS GOOD AS GIVING US A CHANCE.

SOLEDAD: WHAT DOES IT MEAN THEN FOR 2020 IF THEY'RE JUST GIVING YOU A CHANCE.

THAT MAYBE IT MEANS NOTHING?

GOV. POLIS: WELL, I THINK IT MEANS IF THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE IS DONALD TRUMP, HE'LL HAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE WINNING OVER THE SWING VOTERS OF COLORADO WITH HIS DIVISIVE BRAND

OF RHETORIC AND THE WAY HE HAS A SLASH AND BURN POLITICS AND POOR MANAGEMENT STYLE.

COLORADO VOTERS ARE SOPHISTICATED.

THEY'RE EDUCATED, THEY'RE SAVVY, AND THEY DON'T FALL FOR THE TRICKS AND PROPAGANDA OF SOLEDAD: WHEN GEORGE WILL, WHO I JUST QUOTED A MOMENT AGO, I WAS -- WAS TALKING ABOUT COLORADO,

HE WAS REFERRING TO SORT OF THE CHANGES WITHIN THE STATE AND THE VOTING POPULACE THAT THE GROWING NUMBER OF LATINO VOTERS, THE EDUCATION LEVELS OF COLORADO VOTERS ARE THOSE ALSO THINGS

THAT YOU THINK BENEFIT THE DEMOCRATS?

GOV. POLIS: ABSOLUTELY.

AGAIN, WE HAVE A HIGHLY EDUCATED ELECTORATE, WE HAVE A GROWING PERCENTAGE OF LATINO ELECTORATE.

AND AGAIN, IT'S A STATE THAT HAS RELATIVELY EVEN NUMBERS OF DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS, ALMOST IDENTICAL.

SO IT'S ALWAYS THOSE UNAFFILIATED VOTERS WHICH ARE THE SINGLE BIGGEST GROUP IN OUR STATE.

THERE'S MORE OF THEM THAN THERE ARE DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS THAT REALLY GET TO DECIDE WHICH WAY WE GO AND IN THIS LAST ELECTION IN 2018, THEY DECIDED TO GIVE DEMOCRATS A

CHANCE.

IT'S REALLY UP TO THE DEMOCRATS TO PRODUCE, TO IMPROVE OUR QUALITY OF LIFE.

AND WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO AND MAKE THE CASE THAT WE DESERVE ANOTHER CHANCES IN 2020.

SOLEDAD: I'VE ROAD A LOT ABOUT WHEN YOU WERE FIRST ELECTED, HOW YOU WERE AN OPENLY GAY GOVERNOR.

AND I WAS JUST WONDERING.

YOU MEAN, JIM MCGREEVEY, OF COURSE, IN NEW JERSEY WAS AS WELL, SORT OF SERVED OUT THE REST OF HIS TERM OPENLY GAY.

IS THIS A MILESTONE NOW, IS IT JUST A TALKING POINT IN THE PRESS?

HOW DO YOU VIEW IT?

GOV. POLIS: WELL, IT REALLY IS NOT ON THE MINDS OF MOST COLORADANS.

YOU KNOW, AGAIN, COLORADANS REALLY VALUE WHAT YOU DO AND YOUR CHARACTER.

IT HONESTLY HAS COME UP A LOT MORE IN THE NATIONAL MEDIA THAN IT HAS HERE IN OUR STATE.

PLANS TO SAVE PEOPLE MONEY ON HEALTH CARE.

OUR TRANSITION PLAN TO RENEWABLE ENERGY, WHICH WE HAVE A GOAL OF 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY BY 2040.

WE HAVE A PLAN TO REDUCE TAX LOOPHOLES AND THEN USE THAT MONEY TO REDUCE THE INCOME TAX RATE FOR ALL COLORADO RESIDENTS AND SMALL BUSINESSES.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO DO.

AND THAT'S REALLY BEEN THE FOCUS OF ALL OF THE LOCAL DISCUSSIONS.

SOLEDAD: TALK TO ME ABOUT 2020.

DEMOCRATS HAVE NOW STARTED THROWING THEIR HAT INTO THE RING AND GETTING SOME PUBLICITY FOR IT.

WHO DO YOU THINK -- WHO DO YOU LIKE?

WHO DO YOU THINK SHOULD STEP IN AND WHO SHOULD NOT GOVERNOR POLIS: YOU KNOW, SOLEDAD, IT'S SUCH A BIG LIST.

YOU KNOW, I FOCUS ON OUR TO-DO LIST AND GETTING THINGS DONE IN COLORADO.

SOLEDAD: OH, THAT'S SUCH A POLITICAL DODGE.

FOR 28 MINUTES AND YOU'RE YOU'VE BEEN GOVERNOR HERE.

HOW ARE YOU DOING THE GOVERNOR DODGE?

COME ON, YOU MUST HAVE, OF ALL THE DEMOCRATS YOU KNOW WHO ARE GOING TO JUMP IN, AND THAT'S -- IT'S GOING TO BE A LIST OF ABOUT 20.

THERE IS ONLY GOING TO BE A HANDFUL WHO COULD BEAT DONALD TRUMP.

IN 2020.

WHO DO YOU THINK THE TOP FOUR ARE?

GOVERNOR POLIS: YOU KNOW, WHAT I EXPECT THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY VOTERS WILL LOOK FOR.

SERMON WHAT I WOULD LOOK FOR IS WHO'S GOING TO BE THE BEST CANDIDATE TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY.

BUT REALLY, ELECTABILITY IS GOING TO BE FIRST AND FOREMO

Jared Kushner's Stupidity Is Sabotaging The Trump Administration From The Inside - Duration: 3:56.

Former New Jersey governor and also former Donald Trump champ, a transition team chairman,

Chris Christie has a new book coming out January 29th called let me finish.

And The Guardian, uh, obtained a copy of this book.

And in the book, Chris Christie has a lot of really nasty things to say about jared

Kushner, but when you distill it all down, everything that he's saying about Kushner

or I won't get into specifics in a moment, he essentially paints the picture of somebody

who is so incompetent and so stupid that he is somehow managing to sabotage the entire

Trump administration from the inside.

And here's what I mean.

According to Christie, what he has written in this book, it was Kushner who suggested

that Trump fire Comey and fire a flynn during the campaign.

Because if he did that, it would force people to stop asking questions about Russia, you

know, Fire Flynn.

And that kind of gets people thinking that, oh, there wasn't a connection at all.

And then fire Comey and that's going to kill your investigation.

Uh, that is what Chris Christie alleges.

Jared Kushner told the president, the president said, Ed's good idea, Jair, let's do that.

Obviously didn't work out so well for the president in fact made things a hell of a

lot worse because jared Kushner urging the president to fire James Comey is pretty much

one of the biggest obstruction of justice charges that Robert Mueller is actually looking

into.

So good job there.

Jared, your stupidity may have gotten your father in law, uh, committing an impeachable

offense.

Not that he hasn't already committed some that we do know about, but yeah, that was

[inaudible] doing Kushner also is the one who got Steve Bannon to fire Chris Christie

so that Chris Christie could not end up taking a spot in the administration where he obviously

would have overruled and pretty much tried to force out.

And Jared Kushner.

Um, but here's the thing.

According to Chris Christie, jared Kushner, so as an ax to grind against Christy because

Christie is the guy back when he was a US attorney who actually put Kushner's father

in jail for tax evasion, illegal campaign donations and witness tampering.

Although Christie was allowed to go light on him, so in spite of those three felonies,

dude only serve two years in prison, a normal human being would have spent probably 10 to

20 years in prison, but Kushner's daddy only got two years for being a complete liar, fraud

and a horrible human being.

So jared still mad about that.

You put daddy in jail, you put my financial future in jeopardy, so I'm going to ruin your

life, Chris Christie.

At least that's what Chris Christie seems to think.

Now, here's the thing.

I don't know how much stock I put into what Chris is saying here.

The guy's a jackass.

He is also a liar and a bully, so I don't know if what he's saying here is truthful

or not, but what we do know is the jared Kushner is a moron.

He has been advising the president, and more importantly, Kushner has also been involved

in pretty much every single thing that's gone wrong for this administration.

Kushner is at the heart of the Mueller investigation as he was in that Trump tower meeting with

an Italian resonance Kaiya.

Kushner is the guy who worked with Erik prince from black water to set up those little meetings

with officials from Qatar and the UAE during the campaign, so he may have even colluded

with other foreign countries.

Yeah.

Kushner is at the heart of all of it.

Not because he's a good businessman, but because he's dumb as hell and that very stupidity

may sink this entire administration.
