Trump claims his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen 'directly asked me for a pardon'

Trump's accusing Cohen of commiting perjury over something that Trump is probably the only witness to. That means we could end up with a Trump supporter's worst nightmare: Trump testifying ubder oath.

Washington has a pressing question for Michael Cohen: Did he lie to Congress, again?

President Trump was among those on Friday claiming that Cohen had lied, stating in a tweet that his former "fixer" directly asked him for a pardon.

"I said NO. He lied again!" Trump added.

That allegation came after Cohen's attorney Lanny Davis acknowledged this week that Cohen had told his former legal team to explore a potential presidential pardon after the possibility was "dangled" by Trump's lawyers.
