When Donald Trump Jr. testified under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2017, he told lawmakers that he was only “peripherally aware” of talks to build a Trump Tower in Moscow during his father’s presidential campaign. “Most of my knowledge has been gained since as it relates to hearing about it over the last few weeks,” he claimed. Last November, however, Yahoo News suggested that wasn’t exactly the case. In fact, multiple sources told White House correspondent Hunter Walker that both Ivanka Trump and her older brother had been “working to make Trump Tower Moscow a reality,” a situation that special counsel Robert Mueller had “asked questions about.”

Last night’s BuzzFeed bombshell, if true, confirms that Trump’s kids were involved in the Moscow project. Worse, it makes Trump Jr.’s claim of “peripheral awareness” seem a little dubious! According to the BuzzFeed story, Donald Trump instructed his former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress about the timing of the Trump Tower deal, which would have brought in profits in excess of $300 million. It also cites law-enforcement sources who say that “Trump and his children Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. received regular, detailed updates about the real-estate development from Cohen, whom they put in charge of the project.”

Update: On Friday night, the special counsel’s office released an unusual statement disputing the BuzzFeed story, which it described as “not accurate.” In response, BuzzFeed said in its own statement, “We are continuing to report and determine what the special counsel is disputing. We remain confident in the accuracy of our report.”

In November, Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about his conversations with Trump regarding the project, which he had originally described as three short briefings. What else Cohen told Mueller as part of his plea deal hasn’t been made public. But if the BuzzFeed report aligns with Cohen’s testimony, Trump Jr. could be charged with the same crime that just earned Cohen three years in prison.

In a sense, it was inevitable that things might get dicey for Trump Jr. A West Wing official previously told my colleague Gabriel Sherman that they were worried Trump Jr. might have perjured himself during his testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee when he said he didn’t notify his father beforehand about the Trump Tower meeting to get “dirt” on Hillary Clinton. Other sources close to the White House have said Trump Jr. has told friends he is worried about being indicted. (His lawyer, Alan Futerfas, has said there is “absolutely no truth to these rumors.”) BuzzFeed’s report also adds more details regarding the First Daughter’s involvement:
