Suspicious ties between President Donald Trump and the Russian government just keep appearing. Those emails, obtained by The New York Times on Monday, appear to indicate Sater’s willingness to use a Moscow deal as a way to bolster a Trump presidency. The deal in Moscow, spearheaded in 2015 while Trump was already running for president, was originally reported by The Washington Post on Sunday. “As this project is too important, I am hereby requesting your assistance,” Cohen wrote in an email to Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s press secretary. The investigations are looking into a number of possible contacts, including a meeting Donald Trump Jr. organized in June 2016.
