Well look at the crap that was promoted by those media outlets during the Kavanaugh hearing. Same B.S. that is spouted as fact on this thread every day.
"Two sources have told BuzzFeed News that Cohen also told the special counsel that after the election, the president personally instructed him to lie — by claiming that negotiations ended months earlier than they actually did — in order to obscure Trump’s involvement. … A spokesperson for the Office of Special Counsel declined to comment."
So, it is source is not so much the special counsel's office, but two other unnamed sources. It is far more likely that the unnamed sources were republican operatives working on the assumption that Mueller's office would be pressed to make a statement, or that Cohen would be pressed to deny it, meanwhile causing Trumpers to foam at the mouth.
BTW, it is very likely that Trump pressed Cohen to not be truthful with Congress, while never saying the word "lie." Take it as you like, but the most likely scenario is that Trump presses government witnesses to obfuscate the truth. I base this on Trump threatening Cohen's father-in-law. Why publicly rave and make threats about what Trump cries is a nothing burger?
