Fox News anchor Shepard Smith issued something of a fact-check to Donald Trump on Thursday after the president claimed Michael Cohen was lying in order to get a lighter sentence.

Cohen, Trump’s longtime lawyer and fixer, plead guilty to making false statements to Congress regarding the Russia investigation on Thursday morning, and it was revealed he’s cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller‘s probe. Cohen admitted he lied when he told Congress that talks about a Trump Tower in Moscow ended before the 2016 primary elections. Now, Cohen claims the talks continued until June 2016.

In response to the bombshell news, Trump called Cohen a “weak person” and said he was lying in order to get a lighter sentence.

“So the president says Michael Cohen was lying to the special prosecutor in an attempt to get a reduced sentence,” Smith explained on Fox News. “If you lie to a special prosecutor, your sentence is not reduced. It adds on to the lies you already told.”

Smith then aired a January 2017 tweet from Trump in which he completely denied having dealings with Russia:

Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA – NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2017
