There is no clear link in the court filings between Cohen’s lies and Mueller’s central question of whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. Trump, who’s in Argentina for the Group of 20 summit, on Friday blasted the investigation in which Cohen pleaded guilty . Earlier this week, Mueller’s team accused Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort , of lying after his own guilty plea, which Manafort denies. In fact, the negotiations continued until June 2016, Cohen acknowledged. Around that time, prosecutors say, Sater sent Cohen several messages about the project and Cohen said he wouldn’t be traveling then to Russia.
