Newly discovered photos prove that Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen lied to Yahoo! news in January in a story they titled “Trump attorney Michael Cohen: ‘I have no Russian Kremlin connections’.”
This Russian language official announcement of the deal to bring Miss Universe to Moscow at the end of 2013 proves that Michael Cohen has personally met with a Russian Kremlin linked connection — the billionaire Agalarov family. A complete set of photographs of the meeting is below.
“Michael Cohen is a liar, just like his boss, Donald Trump,” says the Democratic Coalition’s Scott Dworkin, who unearthed the photo of Cohen from a widely read Russian blog aggregator website. “We caught him red handed, yet again.”
BuzzFeed and Fusion GPS publish the news and information about Michael Cohen therefore Cohen sue them Cohen claimed in both lawsuits that the so-called Steele dossier’s unconfirmed allegations of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and Russian agents contained “false and defamatory” assertions that resulted in “harm to his personal and professional reputation, current business interests, and the impairment of business opportunities.”

Aras Agalarov hails from Azerbaijan, but is a Russian citizen. He’s been called the “Trump of Russia” for his real estate mega-developments. His son Emin Agalarov is a musician with an extensive social media presence.
Michael Cohen was present in Las Vegas on or near the date of June 16th, 2013 for a meeting with Trump and the Agalarovs, sitting on their side of the table.
Emin Agalarov documented the meeting at the Vegas Trump Hotel extensively, on Instagram.
The Agalarovs paid millions to Donald Trump in exchange for him holding the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow in the run-up to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Michael Cohen withdraws lawsuits against BuzzFeed, Fusion GPS
Michael Cohen, President Trump’s longtime personal attorney, has withdrawn lawsuits against BuzzFeed and Fusion GPS over the publishing of a controversial dossier compiled by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele.
Cohen filed the lawsuits earlier this year -- one in federal court against the private investigative firm and the other in state court against the popular media website.
Cohen’s attorney filed to withdraw both late Wednesday night.
"The decision to voluntarily discontinue these cases was a difficult one," Cohen's attorney, David Schwartz, said in a statement to ABC News on Thursday.
Schwartz said Cohen still believes BuzzFeed and Fusion GPS defamed him “but given the events that have unfolded, and the time, attention, and resources needed to prosecute these matters, we have dismissed the matters, despite their merits.”
BuzzFeed said the lawsuit had never been about the "merits" of publishing the dossier.
“The lawsuits against BuzzFeed over the Steele dossier have never been about the merits of our decision to publish it,” a BuzzFeed’s spokesperson wrote in a statement this morning on Twitter. “Today’s news suggests that Donald Trump’s personal lawyer no longer thinks an attack on the free press is worth his time.”
ABC News has reached out to Fusion GPS for comment.
Cohen claimed in both lawsuits that the so-called Steele dossier’s unconfirmed allegations of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and Russian agents contained “false and defamatory” assertions that resulted in “harm to his personal and professional reputation, current business interests, and the impairment of business opportunities.”
Steele gave his dossier to Fusion GPS and it was later published in its entirety by BuzzFeed.
In his statement Thursday morning, the Buzzfeed spokesperson repeated the company’s claim that the dossier’s “interest to the public is, and always has been, obvious.”
According to Cohen’s initial complaint, Fusion GPS, co-founded by former Wall Street Journal reporter Glenn Simpson, “recklessly placed [the dossier] beyond their control and allowed it to fall into the hands of media devoted to breaking news on the hottest subject of the day: the Trump candidacy.”
