Mr. Trump and his children were always going on about how they didn't need American money, that they had whatever money they needed, because of connections with Russia.
and I'm not sure you can believe any of this as it's the NYT:
The above is only about who Mr. Trump was indebted to, not who he was trying to make deals with, even when he had to hide it from the American public.
and...
The above all goes the premise of Mr. Trump's deals with Russian money. Now let's address the Saudi money deal.
The plot thickens and...
And Trump repeatedly pointed to a particular someone: the Saudis.
āHe also seems to imply that the numbers cannot be inflated because he could find a ābuyer from Saudi Arabiaā to pay any price he suggests,ā Engoron wrote.
Then, in a conspicuously inserted footnote, Engoron added: āThis statement may suggest influence buying more than savvy investing.ā
Let's put off speaking about the Trump family/Jared and the suspicious Saudi deals.
It seems that for any self-respecting District Attorney or US Prosecutor, Mr. Trump is the gift that keeps on giving.

Elaine Kamarck writes that a key component of whatever the public is able to learn from the president's financial records will be his ties to Russia. Would that explain his consistent advocacy for a friendlier stance toward Vladimir Putin?www.brookings.edu

The above all goes the premise of Mr. Trump's deals with Russian money. Now let's address the Saudi money deal.
Shortly after being indicted on charges of paying hush money to an adult-film actress, Donald Trump sat for a deposition in his separate financial fraud trial and bragged about being able to sell his properties at an inflated rate to Saudi Arabian interests.
A New York judge noted the boasts in a major ruling on Tuesday that found Trump and his company had committed fraud for years. The judge further suggested that such prices might have had more to do with buying influence than buying properties ā a relevant point given Trumpās controversial post-presidency business arrangements with the Saudis.
In his ruling, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron pointed to what he viewed as a particularly strained argument from Trump: that the property values Trump inflated to increase his perceived net worth could be correct because someone might pay them.
