The President's former lawyer Michael Cohen reportedly discussed the idea to gift the real estate in Trump Tower Moscow with a representative of Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s press secretary. Cohen, previously regarded as a loyal “fixer”, yesterday admitted he had lied to US Congress over plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. (Image: REUTERS)The proposed Moscow project also involved Felix Sater, a Russian-born property developer and former business associate of Trump. He said the Moscow tower “was a deal that didn’t happen”. Holding talks with Putin now could represent bad optics for the White House at a time when the president is under scrutiny over prior plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
