Did Cohen go to Prague, and can Mueller prove it?
McClatchy reported Friday that Mueller has evidence that Cohen traveled to Prague in the summer of 2016, a claim first made in the so-called "Steele dossier" compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele.
The document alleged that Cohen had secretly traveled to Prague during the 2016 campaign and met with a prominent ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, purportedly Konstantin Kosachev.
It’s not clear whether Mueller has evidence of such a meeting.
Cohen denied that he had been to Prague shortly after the dossier was publicly released early last year.
According to MSNBC, the dossier says the meeting in Prague was to coordinate efforts to hire hackers to get emails and such from the DNC.
Conspiracy to hack is a felony, and accepting Russian finance of such is felonious acceptance of an in-kind campaign contribution from a foreign power.
