Texts and emails sent by President Trumps fixer Michael Cohen show that his work on a Trump Tower Moscow deal continued at least through May 2016, well after January 2016 end-date Cohen previously claimed, Yahoo News reported Wednesday evening.
The messages were provided to Special Counsel Robert Mueller and congressional investigators by Felix Sater a Cohen pal and former business associate of Trumps who previously told TPM that work on the Moscow Trump deal continued through at least late 2015.
