Rudy Giuliani told NBC News that plans to build a Trump Tower in Moscow remained an “active proposal” as late as November of 2016, leaving open the possibility that Trump’s orbit continued to pursue the business deal up until the presidential election, months later than previously known.
Said Giuliani: “It’s our understanding that it, that talks went on throughout 2016, not a lot of them… but the president can remember having conversations with Michael Cohen about it… Probably up to, could be up to as far as October, November.”
Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) told NBC News that this was “big news.”
Said Warner: “The Republican nominee was actively trying to do business in Moscow… and if those negotiations were ongoing up until the election, I think that’s a relevant fact for voters … it’s remarkable we are two years after the fact and just discovering it today.”
