Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office is normally a tight-lipped operation that almost never releases any kind of comment. But on Friday night the spokesman for the special counsel issued a rare statement to challenge certain aspects of a bombshell BuzzFeed News report that claimed President Donald Trump had directed his lawyer, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress. “BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate,” the spokesman, Peter Carr, said in a statement. It appeared to mark the first time the special counsel had publicly challenged a news story.
