Top Trump Organization executive asked Putin aide for help on business deal



A top executive from Donald Trump’s real estate company emailed Russian President Vladi­mir Putin’s personal spokesman during the U.S. presidential campaign last year to ask for help advancing a stalled Trump Tower development project in Moscow, according to documents submitted to Congress on Monday.

The request came in a mid-January 2016 email from Michael Cohen, one of Trump’s closest business advisers, who asked longtime Putin lieutenant Dmitry Peskov for assistance in reviving a deal that Cohen suggested was languishing.


One year BEFORE he was President?

Gee...I hope TheRUMP didn't feel beholdin' to Putin.

Admit they mis-spoke?

NO WAY...SAY IT AIN'T SO.
