Analysis: What the media got right — and wrong — about the Mueller report
Michael Cohen, former attorney to President Trump, testifies before the House Oversight Committee in February. By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow April 22 at 8:00 AM For all the hand-wringing about overzealous punditry, the Mueller report was by and large an affirmation of the mainstream media’s investigative reporting. Almost all the big stories were confirmed in the report.
The BuzzFeed Cohen story The story: This was a big one. BuzzFeed News reported that Trump had “directed” Cohen to lie to Congress about the Trump Tower Moscow deal. If true, it would have meant that Trump had committed the crime of suborning perjury. Other outlets, including this one, wrote about what the report would mean if it were true, but couldn’t confirm it. Then the special counsel’s office put out an unprecedented statement disputing it.
— Brian Stelter April 19, 2019 Michael Cohen in Prague The story: McClatchy reported Mueller had evidence Cohen might have been in Prague in the summer of 2016. That would have been big, because it echoed a claim in the Steele dossier that Cohen had met with Russians there to strategize about the 2016 campaign. McClatchy also later reported that Cohen’s cellphone had pinged a tower near Prague at the time.
What Mueller says: While the report makes several mentions of Alfa Bank, none of them addresses these servers’ interactions.
