Donald Trump | Could your employer get you to lie for them?

This morning, news broke that that US President Donald Trump instructed his lawyer to lie to the US Government on his behalf about a personal business project.

Buzzfeed report that Trump instructed Michael Cohen to lie to US Congress about when negotiations regarding the building of a Trump tower in Moscow ended.

The news outlet claim that two sources told them that Trump personally ordered Cohen to tell Congress that negotiations ended months earlier than they did to obscure the now President’s involvement.

Buzzfeed write: “It is the first known example of Trump explicitly telling a subordinate to lie directly about his own dealings.” Trump has repeatedly told the public he had no business deals with Russia.
