I have tried googling it, but all I get is CNN saying he said all this - not an actual video of him saying it.

(12,608 posts)There is strong evidence that Trumps businesses have received significant funding from Russian investors. Most notably, Trumps son Donald Trump Jr. made that very claim at a real estate conference in New York in 2008, saying Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. Donald Trump Jr. added, we see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.

I know there is a video and I can't find it either
Back in 2008, Trumps son Donald Trump Jr. told investors in Moscow that the Trump Organization had trademarked the Donald Trump name in Russia and planned to build housing and hotels in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Sochi, and to sell licenses to other developers, according to the Russian daily Kommersant.

Trump has a property he bought for $40 Million and change, does some cosmetic improvements, flips it to a Russian billionaire for double what he put into it, maybe more. And Trump doesn't have to worry about paying income tax becauses he's still carrying losses from previous years.
