    Cohen pleaded guilty to making materially false statements to congressional intelligence committees about the proposed Trump Tower Moscow project. He admitted the project continued through June 2016, that he discussed travel and Russian-government outreach, and that his false account sought to minimize links during the campaign. The conviction concerns Cohen's testimony, not proof that the project was completed.
