The US special counsel’s office has issued a rare public statement disputing the accuracy of a news report saying that President Donald Trump told his personal attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress.

The statement by Robert Mueller’s office doesn’t cite any specific errors.

UPDATE: A spokesperson for the special counsel is disputing BuzzFeed News’ report. https://t.co/BEoMKiDypn pic.twitter.com/GWWfGtyhaE — BuzzFeed News (@BuzzFeedNews) January 19, 2019

Spokesman Peter Carr says, “BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterisation of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate.”

US President Donald Trump is accusing his former personal attorney of “lying to reduce his jail time!” after BuzzFeed News published a report saying Trump had asked his ex-fixer, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress in 2017.

How on earth is BuzzFeed not trending right now? Yest ANOTHER Trump-Russia collusion story is trumpeted by the mainstream media. Leftists across the board wave it in our faces as a surefire sign of impending impeachment. And it all turns out to be absolute horse shit. AGAIN. — Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) January 19, 2019
