Lanny Davis Admits He Lied About Debunked Trump Tower Story To CNN

  In an interview with Buzzfeed, attorney for former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, Lanny Davis admitted he lied about the debunked Trump Tower story to CNN. Davis lied and told CNN as an anonymous source that President Donald Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting with a Russian offering information on Hillary Clinton. 

  CNN published the article, and Davis has admitted to Buzzfeed, CNN's Anderson Cooper, and the Washington Post that he has no knowledge of Cohen claiming Trump knew of the meeting. Davis told CNN's Anderson Cooper, "I think the reporting of the story got mixed up in the course of a criminal investigation."

 Davis told Buzzfeed about his interview with Anderson Cooper, "I made a mistake, I did not mean to be cute." Trump responded to the news on Twitter, writing, "I did NOT know of the meeting with my son, Don jr. Sounds to me like someone is trying to make up stories in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam (Taxi cabs maybe?). He even retained Bill and Crooked Hillary’s lawyer. Gee, I wonder if they helped him make the choice!"
