«Breaking News» Trump Organization 'planned to give Putin a $50 million penthouse in Trump Tower Moscow'

The Trump Organization at one time planned to give Russian President Vladimir Putin a penthouse worth $50 million in the never-built Trump Tower Moscow, according to a new report.

Citing four unnamed sources familiar with the plan, Buzzfeed reported on Thursday that President Donald Trump's company considered the gift to Putin as it negotiated the luxury development in 2016, after he announced he was running for president. 

The planned development in Moscow was never built, and it is not clear that the proposal ever got past preliminary stages.

Michael Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney, discussed the penthouse gift idea with a representative of Dmitry Peskov, Putin's press secretary, two law enforcement sources told Buzzfeed.

There was nothing inherently illegal about plans for Trump Tower Moscow, Trump said on Thursday, explaining that exploring new developments was a normal part of his business before he was elected.

'I decided ultimately not to do it,' Trump said to reporters of the Moscow develoment. 'There would be nothing wrong if I did do it.'

However, the plans for Trump Tower Moscow are at the center of Cohen's surprise new guilty plea on Thursday, when he confessed that he lied to Congress about a pursuing the deal on Trump's behalf during the heat of the 2016 Republican campaign.  

He said he lied to be consistent with Trump's 'political messaging.' Trump insisted repeatedly throughout the campaign that he had no business dealings in Russia.

Cohen's plea arrangement made clear that prosecutors believe that Trump was continuing to pursue the Trump Tower Moscow project weeks after he had clinched the Republican nomination for president and well after he and his associates have publicly acknowledged.

The negotiations about building the Moscow tower continued as late as June 2016 - the same month Trump's oldest son met in Manhattan with a Kremlin-connected lawyer - even though Cohen told two congressional committees last year that the talks ended that January.

Cohen also discussed the proposal with Trump on multiple occasions and with unidentified members of the president's family, according to court papers filed by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the presidential election and possible coordination with the Trump campaign.

Cohen is cooperating with Mueller and has met with his team at least seven times, prosecutors say.

The Cohen case was filed in New York a week after Trump and his lawyers provided Mueller with responses to written questions.

It is the first new charge filed by the special counsel since the appointment of Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, who has spoken critically about the investigation.

Whitaker was advised of the plea ahead of time, according to a person familiar with the investigation. 

Trump bashed Cohen's plea on Thursday, calling his former attorney a 'weak person' who was lying in order to get a reduced prison sentence.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
