Want to talk emails? How about all the ones between Trump associates and Russian oligarchs in the middle of the campaign? Emails showing that Sater, who once was a “senior adviser” to Trump, and Cohen, Trump’s personal lawyer, worked in 2015 and early 2016 to complete an agreement for a Trump Tower in Moscow, efforts contradicting the president’s many claims that he has “nothing to do with Russia.” As Trump praised Russian President Vladimir Putin on the campaign trail in early 2016, Cohen emailed Putin’s spokesman to ask for Putin’s help reviving discussions with Russian partners on the project. Sater’s emails boasted that the deal would help Trump get elected. Cohen and Sater’s emails were among a large trove of documents the Trump Organization turned over to congressional investigators this week. As we learn more about Trump’s Russian dealings, his actions in trying to shut down the investigation become more understandable.
