Counsel investigating Trump's lawyer say he met an ally of Vladimir Putin in Prague. Michael Cohen denies the claim
U.S. President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen has denied he visited Prague in 2016
Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating suspected Russian meddling in the presidential election say they have proof Cohen met an ally of President Vladimir Putin in the Czech capital.
The lawyer is due to appear in federal court on Monday in connection with a raid last week on his home and office by the FBI. President Trump called the raid disgraceful.
Prosecutors say they are focusing on his business dealings rather than his work as a lawyer. They say that aside from his work as an attorney he has other business interests and sources of income.
They are seeking information about a $130,000 payment (105,000 euro) made by Cohen just before the election to star Stormy Daniels, who says said she had sex with Trump in 2006. The suspicion is that the money was paid to buy her silence.
The president denies the alleged relationship.
