Congress Investigates Another Trump Project In Russia

NBC News reports:

Before Donald Trump’s lawyer was pitching the Kremlin on building a Trump Tower in Moscow, the future president was negotiating to put his name on a building in a separate glitzy real estate development outside the Russian capital.

The Russians dubbed the proposed suburban development “Manhattan,” and a “Trump Tower” would have been its centerpiece, according to congressional testimony and news reports.

Trump’s partner in this earlier project was Aras Agalarov, an oligarch with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the same man whose promise of dirt on Hillary Clinton set in motion the infamous June 2016 meeting at the original Trump Tower in New York.

According to the above-linked report, House and Senate investigators are looking into this separate Moscow project now that Michael Cohen has admitted that he lied to Congress. There’s much more.
