Cohen claims Trump knew of Trump Tower meeting

[...]

Trump himself has been absolutely conclusive that he did not have any foreknowledge of the meeting. "No, I didn't know anything about the meeting," he told The New York Times during an interview in July 2017 .. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/19/us/politics/trump-interview-transcript.html . "It must have been a very important -- must have been a very unimportant meeting. ... No, nobody told me. I didn't know noth-- It's a very unimportant -- sounded like a very unimportant meeting. Because I never even heard about it."

Trump Jr. said much the same during a behind-closed-doors meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee. "No, I wouldn't have wasted his time with it," Trump Jr. said when asked whether his father knew about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting in advance. (The testimony was released publicly.)

So. Someone is not telling the truth here. If Cohen can make good on his allegation that Trump knew about the meeting prior to it happening -- and perhaps provide corroborating witnesses to that effect -- it would not only prove the denials by the President and his son wrong, but it would be the biggest step to date in proving (or at least suggesting) real collusion between the Trump team and the Russians. If Cohen is bluffing or can't deliver what he claims, then this is the political equivalent of Al Capone's vault -- much ado about nothing.

the Russian before it happened. How can that be when Trump denied it? Would he lie?
