Giuliani admits Trump was working on huge Moscow tower deal while running for president of the United States

Alternet -Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Sunday admitted negotiations for a Trump Tower Moscow project likely continued into the 2016 presidential election.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, Giuliani acknowledged the president had to answer a question about the project in his written responses to special counsel Robert Mueller, making it clear the Trump Tower Moscow deal is central to at least one aspect of the special counsel investigation.

Asked when negotiations for the ill-fated Trump Tower Moscow project ended, Giuliani said “they went on throughout 2016.”
