by the special counsel over statements to lawmakers about a 2015 trump moscow real estate project. then, of course, there was a separate case over hush money payments and tax evasion. the other foot note i would make is cohen s appearance on capitol hill is still expected later this week, though the ground rules remain in flux. dana: thank you for that. you re welcome. dana: a memorable speech. i will talk to a pair of presidential speech writers and get their take on what could be a tense time in any west wing. follow us on social media on twitter at daily briefing and daily briefing fnc on instagram and facebook. i don t keep track of regrets.

giuliani is trying to change the timeline on how president trump was personally working on a major deal in moscow during the campaign, a deal that involved putin. giuliani quoting trump himself to the new york times saying the talks were quote going on from the day i announced to the day i won. so giuliani sharing that as a quote from the president to the times. in his written answers, president trump s written answers to special counsel robert mueller s questions, what did president trump have to say about the trump moscow project? he acknowledge lemmedd they conversations about it. throughout 2016. yeah, probably up to, could be up to as far as october, november. okay. look, this is really significant because dates matter a whole lot when it comes to relations with russia during the campaign. what this means, what rudy
crystal clear that the evidence that they cited is wrong. buzzfeed s description and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office regarding michael cohen s congressional testimony are not accurate. so why did miller s team takes a highly unusual step of issuing a statement? our chief white house correspondent team says that his office spoke to the team regarding the article, and there was agreement that a significant portion of the buzzfeed story was false. giuliani says that there are no text messages, emails, or corroborating documents. so why didn t mueller respond to buzzfeed? because they emailed special counsel saying that they had a story coming, stating that michael cohen was directed by president trump himself to lie to congress about his negotiations related to the trump-moscow project you re not a single word about the special counsel.
his accounts of the moscow project to simply give up in frustration, you re not doing too badly. on sunday, giuliani said more than once that the president told the special counsel he was in discussions about a building project in russia, quote, throughout 2016. listen. in his written answers, president trump s written answers to special counsel robert mueller s question what did president trump have to say about the trump moscow project? acknowledged they had conversations about it throughout 2015, 2016. can t be sure of the exact date but the president can remember having conversations with him about it. throughout 2016? the president can also remember yeah, probably up to could be up to as far as october, november. our answers cover until the election. he didn t say that s what he remembers. he said that s what the president remembers. and what they wrote in response to questions from robert mueller.
