Aug. 28 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump's company attempted to land a deal to build a Trump Tower in Moscow during the then-presidential candidate's campaign in 2015 and 2016, unnamed sources familiar with the proposal said.
Sources told The New York Times a Russian-born real estate associate of Trump's, Felix Sater, promised to develop the deal, which would lead to Trump winning the presidential election. The Washington Post confirmed the news and reported that Sater promised he could get Russian President Vladimir Putin to say "great things" about Trump.
