Giuliani said we can’t believe Cohen because he is an established liar. So, their actual defense is that Cohen has spent so many years lying on behalf of Trump that we shouldn’t believe him.
Giuliani in May ; "No. I expect that he is going to cooperate with them. I don’t think they’ll be happy with it because he doesn’t have any incriminating evidence about the president or himself. The man is an honest, honorable lawyer. And despite the Times article today, which is totally baseless, as far as I can tell, but you know, that’s his lawyer’s issue where they had to help."
Giuliani in July ; He has lied all his life… a person who is found to be an incredible liar, he’s got a tremendous motive to lie now… I don’t think anyone believes that.
Of course Trump knew about the meeting. He was concerned about Russian adoptions as much as any American and was shocked, SHOCKED when he found out the wench's true motives. He then started a disinformation campaign on the Russians! Yeah, that's the ticket! He was helping the FBI when he asked for Russian help to find Hillary's emails!, it was a trap! The 13 Angry Democrat Witch Hunters are getting so desperate that they’re blaming Trump for the actions of another random guy that also happens to be named Donald Trump. Whom President Trump barely knows, maybe he met him a few times but he meets lots of people. Sad!
