So, while campaigning and saying we should be friends with Russia, Trump was working on a deal to build a tower in Russia which would have required Putin's approval.
Cohen lied about how long they were working on this deal to Congress. He pleaded guilty to lying. He lied to cover for Trump. The same Trump who said he had NOTHING to do with Russia.
Let the Trump cult members spin this.

Trump should be impeached. He advocated pro-Russia policies while pursuing deals with Russia. He directed his lawyer, Cohen, to lie to Congress about his clear conflict of interest.
Moreover, his interest in deals in Russia perfectly explains his pro-Russia policies that even his own White House disagree with.
He should be impeached for directing Cohen to lie and for his conflict of interest regarding Russia.

The former Trump Organization official previously told Congress that negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow ended in January 2016, but emails showed that he continued to talk with a Russian developer about the project into the summer of 2016 and kept Trump informed of the talks.
While Trump accused Cohen of lying about the Trump Tower Moscow project, the president defended his pursuit of the deal.
“Even if he was right, it doesn't matter because I was allowed to do whatever I wanted during the campaign. I was running my business,” he said.
But at the same time, Trump downplayed the significance of the incident because he “decided not to do the project.”
Cohen's plea is significant because it deepens his cooperation with Mueller's probe into Russia's interference in the 2016 campaign and suggests the Trump Organization was more involved with Moscow than previously believed.
Before taking office in January 2017, Trump insisted he had no business relationships with Russia.
“Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!,” he tweeted.
