President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty Monday to lying to Congress about his work on a Trump real estate deal in Moscow, the Associated Press reported.

Cohen, appearing in court in New York, admitted that in 2017 he made false statements to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about a plan to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.

His guilty plea on Monday follows ones in August on federal charges involving his taxi businesses, bank fraud and his campaign work for Trump.
