FLASHBACK: Michael Cohen Praised Don Jr. For Being ‘Open, Honest, Transparent’ About Trump Tower Meeting

Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen praised Donald Trump Jr. last year for being “open, honest and transparent” about a June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with a group of Russians.


Cohen made the statement in a July 11, 2017 tweet posted just after Trump Jr. appeared on Fox News with Sean Hannity to discuss fallout from the Trump Tower meeting revelation.


In the interview, Trump Jr. said that his father was not aware of the Trump Tower meeting, which occurred on June 9, 2016.


“It was such a nothing, there was nothing to tell,” Trump Jr. told Hannity.

“So proud of @DonaldTrumpJr for being open, honest and transparent to the American people. This nonsense needs to stop!” Cohen tweeted. It is not clear if he published the tweet in response to the Hannity interview or Trump Jr.’s decision earlier in the day to release his email correspondence setting up the meeting.
