At present, this story doesn't sound like a big deal.

It's a discussion between his company and a guy who grew up in Brooklyn. There are going to be numerous situations of that type.

The issue is whether there are direct connections. This story hasn't got any.

You don't want to push weak issues when there are much stronger ones in play. It makes the case look weaker, not stronger.

Trump’s business sought deal on a Trump Tower in Moscow while he ran for president

By Carol D. Leonnig, Tom Hamburger and Rosalind S. Helderman August 27 at 10:47 PM
While Donald Trump was running for president in late 2015 and early 2016, his company was pursuing a plan to develop a massive Trump Tower in Moscow, according to several people familiar with the proposal and new records reviewed by Trump Organization lawyers.

As part of the discussions, a Russian-born real estate developer urged Trump to come to Moscow to tout the proposal and suggested that he could get President Vladimir Putin to say “great things” about Trump, according to several people who have been briefed on his correspondence.

The developer, Felix Sater, predicted in a November 2015 email that he and Trump Organization leaders would soon be celebrating — both one of the biggest residential projects in real estate history and Donald Trump’s election as president, according to two of the people with knowledge of the exchange.

Sater wrote to Trump Organization Executive Vice President Michael Cohen “something to the effect of, ‘Can you believe two guys from Brooklyn are going to elect a president?’ ” said one person briefed on the email exchange. Sater emigrated from what was then the Soviet Union when he was 6 and grew up in Brooklyn.
