The Washington Post reported:

Michael Cohen, a Trump attorney and executive vice president for the Trump Organization, sent the email in January 2016 to Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin’s top press aide.

“Over the past few months I have been working with a company based in Russia regarding the development of a Trump Tower – Moscow project in Moscow City,” Cohen wrote Peskov, according to a person familiar with the email. “Without getting into lengthy specifics the communication between our two sides has stalled.”

“As this project is too important, I am hereby requesting your assistance. I respectfully request someone, preferably you, contact me so that I might discuss the specifics as well as arranging meetings with the appropriate individuals. I thank you in advance for your assistance and look forward to hearing from you soon,” Cohen wrote.

While Trump ran for president and claimed that he had no ties to Russia or Putin, his own company was trying to get Putin’s help on a plan to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. Trump was trying to business in Russia. People close to him were communicating with the Kremlin.

The Trump story about having nothing to do with any Russian hacking is slowly crumbling before the eyes of the entire nation. The money trail is leading to the motives behind the Trump/Russia relationship. Trump wasn’t an innocent bystander who knew nothing about Russia. Trump desperately wanted to be doing business in Russia. The truth can’t stay hidden forever. Donald Trump can claim that he has nothing to do with Russia, but the emails say otherwise.

The Russia scandal is coming for Trump, as the slow drip, drip, drip of truth is catching up with the President.
