"In Memo Asking Clemency Cohen Reveals He Worked
With Trump's Lawyers Preparing False Cong. Testimony"

Larger excerpt:

Mr. Cohen consulted with White House staff members and Mr. Trump’s “legal counsel” as he prepared for his false congressional testimony, though it did not identify the lawyer, according to the memo. The document did not say if Mr. Cohen was asked to lie, nor did it identify which counsel he spoke with.

But the lawyers wrote that Mr. Cohen had consulted with Mr. Trump’s aides because he knew the president wanted to “dismiss and minimize the merit” of the special counsel’s inquiry, and that Mr. Trump and his aides “were seeking to portray contact with Russian representatives in any form by Client-1, the campaign or the Trump Organization as having effectively terminated before the Iowa caucuses of Feb. 1, 2016.”

Just to have there what the lawyers said in response. Of course it was going to be for some other reason than to concoct false testimony, true or not.
