Mueller uncovered a systematic effort by Trump and his onetime attorney Cohen to mislead the public about Trump's financial ties to Russia. The deception spanned years and included lies to the voters, the press, congressional committees and Mueller's investigators. In all, Mueller called out at least 30 lies or misleading statements about Trump Tower Moscow. Since the campaign, Trump publicly denied having any business ties to Russia.
Mueller found that Donald Trump Jr.'s public statement about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting was the start of a coordinated effort to mischaracterize the nature of the meeting and to protect the President. Campaign leaders had expected the meeting to include discussion of possible damaging information on Hillary Clinton.The public response from Trump's team about the meeting was rife with misdirection from the beginning, including at least nine instances of falsehoods.
Two times, Mueller explained how Trump attempted to cover up the episode where he had told White House counsel Don McGahn to rid him of the Mueller investigation.In early 2018, news organizations were reporting that Trump had ordered McGahn to remove the special counsel. Mueller ultimately investigated this as part of his probe into whether the President obstructed justice.Once the story broke, Trump dismissed it, calling it"fake news, folks. Fake news.
