<\/a><\/p>\nAs\u00a0The Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross details,<\/a>\u00a0a CNN report in July that Michael Cohen has information that President Donald Trump was aware of the infamous Trump Tower meeting<\/strong>\u00a0before it occurred\u00a0got \u201cmixed up\u201d and was inaccurate,\u00a0<\/strong>Cohen attorney Lanny Davis said Wednesday night.<\/p>\n \u201cSo Michael Cohen does not have information that President Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians beforehand or even after?\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>CNN\u2019s Anderson Cooper asked Davis.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, he does not,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0replied Davis, a longtime Clinton insider who started representing Cohen earlier this summer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Davis\u2019s bombshell statement severely undercuts\u00a0a July 27 CNN report<\/a>\u00a0that Cohen was willing to tell special counsel Robert Mueller that he was in a meeting when Donald Trump Jr. told his father about an offer to meet with a group of Russians who wanted to provide dirt on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n According to CNN\u2019s anonymous sources, Trump approved the meeting, which took place on June 9, 2016. Democrats seized on the CNN report as evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.<\/strong><\/p>\n The report also opened up the possibility that Trump and Trump Jr. publicly lied about the\u00a0Trump Tower<\/a>\u00a0meeting. Trump has said publicly that he did not know about the meeting until a year after it occurred. Trump Jr. told the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2017 that his father did not know about the meeting.<\/p>\n Davis said that the initial report was \u201cmixed up\u201d and that Cohen\u2019s legal team was unable to correct it because of an ongoing criminal investigation<\/strong>\u00a0into the longtime Trump fixer. Cohen pleaded guilty on Tuesday in federal court in New York to tax evasion, bank fraud and making excessive campaign finance donations by arranging hush payments to two women who claimed to have had affairs with Trump.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, I think the reporting of the story got mixed up in the course of a criminal investigation. We were not the source of the story. And the question of a criminal investigation, the advice we were given, those of us dealing with the media is that we could not do anything other than stay silent,\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Davis told Cooper.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n .@LannyDavis<\/a>: Michael Cohen \u201cmight be able to be useful to the Special Counsel about whether Trump knew ahead of time about the hacking of the Hillary Clinton e-mails." <\/p>\n \u201c[I] think what he can say would be useful and that's the way I have to leave it.\u201d https:\/\/t.co\/1j0yq1kYiU<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/FPrv5aYH7P<\/a><\/p>\n — Anderson Cooper 360\u00b0 (@AC360) August 23, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
