This time for sure.

Peter Stone and Greg Gordon, McClatchy DC:

A mobile phone traced to President Donald Trump’s former lawyer and “fixer” Michael Cohen briefly sent signals ricocheting off cell towers in the Prague area in late summer 2016, at the height of the presidential campaign, leaving an electronic record to support claims that Cohen met secretly there with Russian officials, four people with knowledge of the matter say.
During the same period of late August or early September, electronic eavesdropping by an Eastern European intelligence agency picked up a conversation among Russians, one of whom remarked that Cohen was in Prague, two people familiar with the incident said.
The phone and surveillance data, which have not previously been disclosed, lend new credence to a key part of a former British spy’s dossier of Kremlin intelligence describing purported coordination between Trump’s campaign and Russia’s election meddling operation.

But Cohen continues to lie about it, tweeting recently that he's never been to Prague, or to the Czech Republic.

And then - just in case you were afraid it wouldn't get any weirder or uglier - we get this from Michael Burke, The Hill:

A lawyer for a Russian company that has been indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller said Mueller has "collected a nude selfie" as part of his probe into the Russian company.
In the court filing, Eric Dubelier — an attorney for Concord Management and Consulting — accused Mueller's team of illegally keeping information from the company.

Dubelier also said in the filing that among the millions of records that the special counsel has collected as evidence in the case is a "nude selfie."

“Could the manner in which he collected a nude selfie really threaten the national security of the United States?” Dubelier wrote.

Concord Management and Consulting is among the Russian entities and Russian nationals that Mueller indicted earlier this year, accusing them of participating in a Russian troll farm's effort to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
Mueller is investigating Russian interference in the election as well as possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.
