Does attempted bribery of a Russian official, i.e., offering penthouse in Trump Tower to Putin [View all]

violate New York or other U.S. laws (or just Russian laws)?

Why did SDNY only focus on the settlements with Stormy Daniels and McDougal and not (1) bribery to Putin; and (2) doing business with convicted felon (Slater)?

Did not take time to research. Would like input from DU lawyers or corporate business people.
