Michael Cohen spoke for hours with special counsel Robert Mueller last month in multiple interview sessions, his lawyer confirmed last night.
ABC News reports: “The special counsel’s questioning of Cohen, one of the president’s closest associates over the past decade, has focused primarily on all aspects of Trump’s dealings with Russia — including financial and business dealings and the investigation into alleged collusion with Russia by the Trump campaign and its surrogates to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News. Investigators were also interested in knowing, the sources say, whether Trump or any of his associates discussed the possibility of a pardon with Cohen.”
The interviews were confirmed by a tweet from Cohen’s account that was quickly deleted on Thursday night. The tweet read: “Good for Michael Cohen for providing critical information to the #MuellerInvestigation without a cooperation agreement. No one should question his integrity, veracity or loyalty to his family and country over @POTUS @realdonaldtrump.”
Cohen’s lawyer Lanny Davis later took credit for the tweet:

FYI – I wrote a Tweet congratulating @MichaelCohen212 and sent text to him to Tweet to his much larger following – but was delayed posting myself so he posted first. All take a breath. I don’t control or have access to Mr. Cohen’s Twitter account. He is my client and my friend.
