Bombshell document dump shows Trump Org sought Putin’s help to build Moscow tower — and win election



The president frequently praised Putin while campaigning for U.S. president in 2016, and he insisted he had no business ties to Russia — all while his attorney Michael Cohen and others on the Trump Organization payroll negotiated the Moscow development, reported BuzzFeed News.

Negotiations were hot and heavy in October 2015, when Cohen and Trump associate Felix Sater were working to secure a deal to build the 100-story tower — and to forge a closer relationship with Russia and its president.

“All we need is Putin on board and we are golden, meeting with Putin and top deputy is tentatively set for the 14th,” Sater emailed Cohen on Oct. 12, 2015. “See buddy I can not only get Ivanka to spin in Putins Kremlin office chair on 30 minutes notice, I can also get a full meeting.”

Trump tweeted out a Washington Examiner story with the headline, ‘Putin loves Donald Trump,’ on Oct. 17, 2015, just days after receiving a signed letter of intent from a Moscow developer.

translate.google.com

Copy and paste any text. It will auto-recognize the language and provide a machine translation (which, absent idioms, is generally okay to get the gist of stuff)

BuzzFeed released at least some of the documents (284 pages that I can see) here:

The file is entitled "Trump Moscow" but it might be BuzzFeed's name for it. Includes architect drawing of the Trump Tower Moscow and many emails circulated among the principle participants, including Michael Cohen and several Russians.
