Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov revealed two emails on Friday from U.S. President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty the previous day to lying to Congress about a project in Moscow.

Peskov said that Cohen had used the January 2016 emails to request a meeting either with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s then-chief of staff Sergei Ivanov or Peskov himself.
