1/ Trump's company was pursuing a plan to develop a Trump Tower in Moscow while he was was running for president in late 2015 and early 2016. Discussions about the Moscow project began in September 2015 and despite signing a letter of intent, the project was abandoned just before the presidential primaries began in January 2016, emails show. The details of the deal have not previously been disclosed. The Trump Organization has turned over the emails to the House Intelligence Committee, pointing to the likelihood of additional contacts between Russia and Trump associates during the campaign.
