And when Dodson asked Donald Trump how he managed to secure funding for his courses, he said he had access to $100 million.

When Dodson asked Trump's son, Eric, to explain where the $100 million came from, Eric said they weren't relying on American banks for the funding, because American banks had been reluctant to put money into golf courses after the recession.

"We have all the funding we need out of Russia," Eric reportedly said.

"Really?" Dodson replied.

"Oh, yeah. We’ve got some guys that really, really love golf, and they’re really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time."

President Trump's campaign associates and his businesses have repeatedly come under fire since the campaign and after he was elected for their questionable ties to Russia."
