Trump has sought business in Russia in the past. Executives of the Trump Organization have at times in the past said Russia was a major area of business, too.
āRussians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets.ā Donald Trump Jr.
said at a 2008 conference in New York. āWe see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.ā President Trump has, however,
admitted under oath in the past that the Trump Organization sometimes lied about its business in public statements.
During an interview with NBC Newsās Lester Holt on Friday, Trump seemed to preview the contents of the letter. āI have no investments in Russia, none whatsoever. I donāt have property in Russia,ā he said, but mentioned the sale of the house and the Miss Universe income.
