BUSTED: Trump’s Lawyer Michael Cohen Lied. He Does Have Russian Kremlin Contacts
Newly discovered photos prove that Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen lied to Yahoo! news in January in a story they titled “Trump attorney Michael Cohen: ‘I have no Russian Kremlin connections’.”
This Russian language official announcement of the deal to bring Miss Universe to Moscow at the end of 2013 proves that Michael Cohen has personally met with a Russian Kremlin linked connection — the billionaire Agalarov family. A complete set of photographs of the meeting is below.
“Michael Cohen is a liar, just like his boss, Donald Trump,” says the Democratic Coalition’s Scott Dworkin, who unearthed the photo of Cohen from a widely read Russian blog aggregator website. “We caught him red handed, yet again.”
Aras Agalarov hails from Azerbaijan, but is a Russian citizen.
He’s been called the “Trump of Russia” for his real estate mega-developments.
His son Emin Agalarov is a musician with an extensive social media presence.
Michael Cohen was present in Las Vegas on or near the date of June 16th, 2013 for a meeting with Trump and the Agalarovs, sitting on their side of the table.
Emin Agalarov documented the meeting at the Vegas Trump Hotel extensively, on Instagram.
The Agalarovs paid millions to Donald Trump in exchange for him holding the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow in the run-up to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
The Real Reason Trump Held The 2013 Miss Universe Pageant In Moscow
The original Russian language blogpost — source of the cover photo and the rest of the unretouched images below —was commented on heavily by Emin Agalarov. The author’s lede sentences are a firm reminder of Putin’s links to the negotiations, because she wrote that the Sochi Games publicity was the reason for the pageant’s visit to Moscow. Translated via Google Translate:
Donald Trump, owner of the world’s most popular beauty pageant, made today in Las Vegas, a sensational statement that the next contest “Miss Universe” will be held in Moscow, in a concert hall Crocus City Hall in the territory of Crocus City.
For the first time the Miss Universe will be held in Russia, and this event will take place a few months before the start of the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Vladimir Putin gave the quadrennial sporting event a significant amount of personal attention and the Sochi Winter Games became known more for corruption and a massive Russian state-run doping scandal, than for sporting events.
Notably, Vladimir Putin awarded Agalarov a medal right before the pageant was held at his Crocus City development.
Michael Cohen’s flatly disclaimed Kremlin contacts when questioned by Yahoo! in the immediate aftermath of his prominent mention Buzzfeed’s release of the Trump Russia dossier.
But the New York Times discovered a month later that Cohen was part of the Trump back channel to Russia, working with convicted felon Felix Sater — a former Trump Organization senior advisor — and a Ukrainian lawmaker to present a “peace plan” to General Michael Flynn.
Now we know that Michael Cohen blatantly lied to the press about his Russian Kremlin contacts, and that raises a red flag about his involvement in the sham “peace deal” he incubated, which was little more than a thin excuse to drop American financial sanctions against Russia.
Here’s the complete photographic record of Donald Trump’s meeting with Kremlin linked-Russian oligarch Aras Agalarov, his family, Michael Cohen and others:
