Russian spokesman says there were contacts (w/Cohen) on Trump Tower, but they 'disappeared'

A spokesman for Russia’s government said Saturday that only two emails and a phone call took place between President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen and Russian officials about a planned Trump Tower project.

But Russian officials gave the exchanges no more attention than any other business proposition, spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Argentina.

...

Peskov said there were “two emails and one telephone call, returned telephone call, asking what they wanted and why they wanted to be in contact with [the Russian] presidential administration.”

He said “we told them that Russian presidential administration is not dealing with construction works” but they could arrange contacts with potential Russian counterparts at an economic forum in St. Petersburg.



Missing? Ah. Meaning Cohen/trump stopped contact

A spokesperson for Russia revealed on Saturday that Michael Cohen 'disappeared' after his two emails regarding then-presidential candidate Donald Trump potentially building a property in Moscow were returned with one phone call telling him that's not his department.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov revealed the emails from Cohen, Trump's former personal attorney, to reporters from the G20 Summit in Beunos Aires on Friday.
