Lawyer: Cohen's statements do not contradict Trump Jr. on Russia deals

Media reports Friday suggested former Trump Organization lawyer Michael Cohen's statements to a judge contradicted Donald Trump Jr.'s 2017 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee about Trump family business interests in Russia.

But Trump Jr.'s attorney Alan Futerfas told NBC News there is no contradiction.

Trump Jr's testimony "clearly referred to two different proposals," Futerfas said, one with Russian oligarch Aras Agalarov and his son Emin that ended in 2014, and another with long-time Trump associate Felix Sater that started in 2015.

"I have no concerns about Donald Trump Jr.'s information. He was open, straightforward, forthright and honest," Futerfas said.

Of the two proposed deals, Trump Jr. was more involved in talks with the Agalarovs for a Trump building in Moscow, according to a person with knowledge, but the deal was only preliminary and was soon scrapped.

Trump Jr. testified that deal "sort of faded away I believe at the end of '14… Certainly not '16."

An NPR story Friday cited that testimony as evidence that his testimony contradicted Cohen's statements. The story was later updated.
