with an offer for "consulting"?
Yet none of them are acknowledging such an approach. If they were innocent, like Ford, wouldn't they want to publicize that?

Michael Cohen made Ford an offer the company easily refused.
The Wall Street Journals Peter Nicholas and Christina Rogers report that Cohen, Donald Trumps personal attorney and fixer, reached out to Ford Motor Company in January 2017 to offer his consulting services otherwise known as promoting his access to the president.
Ford rejected the offer to work with Cohen. But that unusual pitch came to the attention of special counsel Robert Mueller, who has uncovered details about it during his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Mueller requested records about Cohens solicitation, according to the Wall Street Journal.
