Senior reporterOne of the most bizarre aspects of the investigations engulfing the Trump administration is the lawyers involved. In a new interview with The Washington Post’s Tom Hamburger and Rosalind S. Helderman, Davis is backing off two massive claims he made in recent weeks, including that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen has told people he witnessed President Trump being informed of Donald Trump Jr.'s 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer before it happened. Davis is his lawyer and spokesman, after all, which means these claims effectively came from Cohen himself. Cohen was supposed to be the guy flipping on Trump and telling investigators everything he knows about the skeletons in Trump’s closet. And as the latest from Cohen and Davis shows, that’s not just the case with Trump and his legal team.
