Eric Trump said in 2014 that Russians fund family’s golf courses: golf writer

A prominent golf writer says Eric Trump, one of President Trump’s sons, once claimed their family took money from Russians to fund their golf courses.

James Dodson recounted the alleged encounter Friday on the Boston radio station WBUR, claiming Trump dropped that would-be bombshell in 2014.

Dodson, who co-authored Arnold Palmer's biography "A Golfer's Life," said he met with Donald Trump that year at the businessman’s golf club in North Carolina. Trump nonchalantly remarked that he “had access to $100 million” for golf courses, Dodson said.

Dodson said he asked Eric Trump about that cash when the two of them hit the links.

“When I got in the cart with Eric, as we were setting off, I said, ‘Who’s funding?’” Dodson said in the interview.

“I know no banks — because of the recession, the Great Recession — have touched a golf course. No one’s funding any kind of golf construction. It’s dead in the water the last four or five years. And this is what he said. He said, 'Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.' I said, 'Really?' And he said, 'Oh, yeah. We’ve got some guys that really, really love golf, and they’re really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time.’”
