Lanny Davis, a Clinton Crime Family scumbag attorney who is representing Michael Cohen got the media so excited earlier in the week. Davis falsely claimed that Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting between his son Don Jr. and the Russian agent claiming to have “dirt” on Hillary Clinton. The media was so excited, claiming Cohen the rat flipped on Trump.
Well guess what? That turned out to be fake news (again) and now Lanny Davis is trying to do damage control. Basically, Lanny Davis spread fake news to CNN and other progressive media propaganda outlets and now he’s walking it back. The media who spread the fake news though haven’t issued any corrections.

Michael Cohen’s attorney Lanny Davis admitted on Thursday that he erroneously confirmed a CNN report about Trump’s knowledge of the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with the Russians.
CNN reported on July 27 that Cohen was prepared to tell Special Counsel Robert Mueller that the president had advance knowledge of the Trump Tower meeting. On Wednesday, Davis said that the reporting was “mixed up” and that his client had no information regarding when Trump knew about the meeting.
According to the New York Post, however, Davis himself confirmed CNN’s report as an anonymous source when it was first published.
Davis is now apologizing on the record for confirming something he did not know to be true.
“I regret that I wasn’t clear enough to The Post. I should have been more clear. I could not independently confirm the information in the CNN story,” Davis said. “I’m sorry that I left that impression. I wasn’t at the meeting. The only person who could confirm that information is my client, [Michael Cohen].”
