by Ken Meyer | Jan 18th, 2019, 12:22 pm
Kellyanne Conway gave an interview to Fox Business on Friday, during which, she did not deny the report that President Donald Trump told Michael Cohen to lie before Congress about the timeline for his plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
The White House special counselor responded to the report by accusing Buzzfeeds sources, two federal law enforcement officials, of leaking information from ongoing investigations. Conway also attacked Buzzfeeds credibility while deferring to Trumps latest Twitter attack against Cohen.
[Fox News reporter] Kevin Corke was characterizing Michael Cohens past testimony and also talking about some problems that hes had testifying under oath, said Conway. Im going to leave it at that because I come here every day to work on policy.
Bill Hemmer interviewed White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley earlier today, and while Hemmer didnt allow Gidley to skirt around questions about this, Charles Payne declined to challenge Conways non-denial in their chat.
We know he has lied under oath in the past and Michael Cohen is headed toward prison, Payne said. By the way, Democrats are demanding an investigation. Weve got so many of them, I think you would agree it will be great once Muellers investigation is wrapped up.

Her husband must be advising her.

Kellyanne might be reaching the intersection of "He's probably going to fire me" and "I no longer give a shit."
So yeah, maybe her husband gave her some good advice, and she's smart enough to listen.

and didnt give an emphatic answer so she wouldnt be questioned.

No, we most assuredly CANNOT wait until Mueller has wrapped up his labyrinthine investigation, which may be years away.
