Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team is looking into incidents involving one of President Trump’s attorneys as part of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
Mueller has reportedly sought documents and spoken to witnesses about Michael Cohen’s involvement in negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. Cohen was reportedly in contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s chief spokesman about moving forward on the project, but did not receive a response.
Negotiations for a deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow started in 2015, but were cut off in early 2016.
Mueller’s team has also looked into Cohen’s involvement in a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine that favored Russia and was proposed one week after Trump took office, The Washington Post reported.
Cohen’s own attorney, Stephen Ryan, denied to the Post that Cohen is a focus of Mueller’s investigation.
