McClatchy is standing by a disputed report alleging that Michael Cohen visited Prague in 2016, a spokeswoman for the news organization told The Daily Caller News Foundation Monday.
McClatchy reported in April 2018 that special counsel Robert Mueller had obtained evidence of Cohen’s visit to the Czech Republic. The report, which relied on two unnamed sources, appeared to confirm a key point in the disputed Steele dossier’s tale of collusion between President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and the Russian government.
But no other news outlet has confirmed McClatchy’s report almost a year later, and Mueller concluded his investigation without finding evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, has repeatedly denied — including in sworn congressional testimony on Feb. 27 — that he traveled to Prague, as alleged by the dossier and McClatchy.
“We stand by our reporting,” a McClatchy spokeswoman told TheDCNF in an email.
A spokesman for the special counsel’s office declined to comment.
