First Daughter Ivanka Trump connected Trump’s lawyer with a Russian bodybuilder who offered to introduce her father to Vladimir Putin to facilitate building of a 100-story Trump Tower in Moscow, Buzzfeed News reported Wednesday.
Emails reviewed by Buzzfeed revealed that Ivanka Trump connected her father’s fixer, Michael Cohen, to former Olympic weightlifter Dmitry Klokov.
Both congressional investigators and special counsel Robert Mueller has reviewed the emails and some witnesses have reportedly been questioned about the interactions.
“The contacts reveal that even as her father was campaigning to become president of the United States, Ivanka Trump connected Michael Cohen with a Russian who offered to arrange a meeting with one of America’s adversaries — in order to help close a business deal that could have made the Trump family millions,” Buzzfeed explained.
