- Special counsel Robert Mueller's office disputed a BuzzFeed News report that said Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's longtime attorney, was instructed by Trump to lie to Congress about the Trump Tower Moscow deal.
- "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," spokesman Peter Carr said in a statement to INSIDER on Friday.
- BuzzFeed cited two unnamed law-enforcement sources in its story published Thursday night. The news outlet says it is "confident" in its reporting.
