Trump Can't Seem to Shake Those Russia Problems

A plan to ease sanctions may have found its way into the White House.

The New York Times reported Sunday that one of Donald Trump’s lawyers, Michael Cohen, attempted to deliver a sealed proposal for crafting a Ukraine peace accord -- and lifting Russian sanctions -- to then National Security Adviser Michael Flynn shortly before Flynn resigned.

Cohen disputed a portion of the Times’ account in an interview with Washington Post reporters, arguing that he hadn’t taken the sanctions plan to the White House nor had he spoken to anyone about it.
