Ukraine politician says Mueller focused on Cohen during questioning

Andrii V. Artemenko, a former member of the Ukrainian parliament, said that his questioning last week by special counsel Robert Mueller focused on his interactions with President Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen.
“I realized that Michael Cohen is a target [of Mueller's],†Artemenko told The Washington Post this week.
Artemenko’s comments show that Mueller, who is investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election, remains focused on Cohen. Mueller previously referred federal prosecutors in Manhattan to conduct a separate investigation into Cohen’s business dealings.
Artemenko, who was subpoenaed by Mueller last month, met with Cohen one week after Trump took office to discuss possible back-channel peace efforts for Ukraine.
