Mueller Office Disputes Report That Trump Lawyer Lied To Congress

BBC World Service - Weekend, Mueller Office Disputes Report That Trump Lawyer Lied To Congress

A claim that Trump told his lawyer to lie is "not accurate" says special counsel.

The office of the US special counsel Robert Mueller has disputed the accuracy of a news report that President Trump ordered his former lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress. BuzzFeed News had said that Mr Trump instructed Mr Cohen to lie about plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. Buzzfeed said it stood by its report. Also, staying in the US, as the government shutdown continues into its twenty ninth day, we find out how it is affecting the lives of Native Americans.
