House Dems plan to investigate Trump Organization's alleged Putin penthouse
The House Intelligence Committee plans to probe the Trump Organization's alleged efforts in 2016 to give Russian President Vladimir Putin a free penthouse in a proposed Trump property in Moscow, according to a new report.
The Trump family business plan to give Putin a penthouse at the property was originally reported by BuzzFeed News on Thursday.
If true, this story further underscores the need to finish the Committees counterintelligence investigation to determine what, if any, financial leverage the Russians may hold over President Trump and the Trump Organization, and what Trump may have hoped to gain by any financial offer to Putin, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the incoming Intelligence Committee chairman, said in a statement to BuzzFeed.
Michael Cohen, President Trumps former lawyer and personal fixer, pleaded guilty this week to lying to Congress about the proposed Moscow project, including its timing.
