Orbán: Russia Unlikely to Attack NATO Allies, Claims Lack of Capabilities
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has dismissed concerns over the possibility of Russia launching an attack on NATO member states, stating that such fears are unfounded
Donald Trump's personal attorney-at-law plans to accuse him of knowing about the leak of emails of the Democratic Party in the summer of 2016 via the WikiLeaks website that hit his rival in the presidential election, Reuters and CNN report.
Michael Cohen will testify today to a commission in the House of Representatives. He will explain that while he was with his then presidential candidate in his office in July 2016, Trump received a call from longtime politician Roger Stone. He explained that he had spoken to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and heard from him that the site would spread emails to the Democratic Party that created tensions in the headquarters and between supporters of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her opponent for the Democrats nomination Bernie Sanders. The e-mail scandal has affected Clinton's support.
The lawyer issued statement, which he will make at the beginning of the hearing, also contains other accusations against Trump - he will say that the president has ruled the negotiations on a construction project in Moscow even during his presidential campaign, and despite the statements that he did not have business interests in Russia.
"I have no evidence, but I have suspicions"
Cohen is found guilty for that he arranged payments to porn actress in violation of the rules for financing the election campaign and he would say that the president is "racist" and "crook" and that he would forward documents in support of his words.
He said the president had not only ordered him to pay $ 130,000 to Stormy Daniels to keep the actress silent about his affair with him, and to lie to the first lady Melania Trump.
Cohen also plans to say there is no direct evidence of links between Trump or his headquarters and Russia, talking about collusion. "I do not have evidence, but I have suspicions," he says.
Before the end of the "Russian investigation"
Reuters reports that Cohen's words are awaiting attention at a time when Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller is about to end the so-called Russian investigation (for a collusion between Trump's headquarters and Russia blamed for attempts to intervene in the 2016 elections). Trump calls it a witch hunt investigation and constantly denies that there has been any collusion.
Stone himself spoke (according to Cohen's statement) with Assange, being accused by Trump of lying in testimony before Congress, but denies knowing about the emails. His text messages, which Reuters has seen, however, indicate that during the campaign he made several attempts to contact Assange.
Cohen has to go to jail on May 6, with a two-month delay after the start date announced for a recent operation and for testimony to the Congress committees. He was sentenced in December to three years' imprisonment for nine charges, including a violation of campaign funding rules. Cohen was found guilty and lied to Congress for a project to build the Trump Tower in Moscow.
