President Trump is facing new questions about his campaign’s ties to Russia amid revelations that a Russian-born real estate developer boasted that a 2015 business deal to build Trump Tower in Moscow would help get Trump elected president of the United States. In an email to Trump’s lawyer, real estate developer Felix Sater wrote, “Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it. … I will get all of Putins [sic] team to buy in on this, I will manage this process.” At the time, the Trump Organization was pushing to build a massive Trump Tower in Moscow. Sater claimed to have secured financing for the project with VTB Bank, a Russian bank under U.S. sanctions. Sater was also a former FBI informant who immigrated from Russia as a child and grew up in Brooklyn. The plans to build Trump Tower in Moscow were abandoned at the end of January 2016, after the project failed to secure financing and government permits. Trump is currently facing multiple investigations into his campaign’s ties to Russia.
