Trump ally Michael Caputo named as new HHS spokesperson - CNNPolitics
The Mueller report flagged 77 instances when Trump or his associates might have lied to investigators, including one instance involving Caputo, according to a CNN analysis.
The Mueller report noted that investigators received conflicting information about a May 2016 meeting that Caputo helped arrange between longtime Trump ally Roger Stone and a Florida-based Russian named Henry Greenberg, who offered dirt on Hillary Clinton. Mueller's team spoke to Caputo and Greenberg about the incident, but Mueller's final report did not indicate who was telling the truth. Neither of them was charged with lying to the FBI or any other crimes.
Caputo's testimony did not go unnoticed by Trump. In July 2017, days after Caputo testified privately to the House Intelligence Committee, Trump thanked Caputo on Twitter "for saying so powerfully that there was no Russian collusion in our winning campaign."
Nearly two years later, in April 2019, Trump summoned Caputo to the White House and, with the first lady, met with Caputo and his family in the Oval Office -- a warm reception that appeared a distant cry from Trump's fury at other former aides who participated in the probe.
