Michael Cohen writes in his new tell-all book that Donald Trump praised Russian President Vladimir Putin during the 2016 presidential campaign because he assumed he would lose the election and wanted to make sure he could borrow money from Russian sources for his real estate empire, NBC News reports.
Also interesting: “When a Russian oligarch bought Trump’s mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, in 2008 for nearly double what Trump paid for it — a $50 million profit — Trump believed Putin was secretly funding the deal.”
