CNN Video Confirms The Stern Facts About Trump’s Russian Ties
CNN just released exclusive videos confirming the meeting we exposed on The Stern Facts on June 9th, a month before we discovered that the images proving a direct link between the President and the music publicist who set up a meeting between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign.
Our exclusive report last month brought the photos to light, and debunked Trump’s personal lawyer Michael D. Cohen’s alibi for involvement in the Christopher Steel dossier. Significantly, our story reported that the Kremlin placed a high level of political significance of bringing the Miss Universe to Moscow ahead of the Sochi Olympics.
CNN’s video shows Trump telling reporters exactly that in a 2013 press conference:
“I think it’s a great day for both countries. And honestly they really wanted it in Russia very badly, politically they wanted it.”
“It really is a great country; it’s a very powerful country. It’s a country that we have a relationship with, but not a great relationship. This could certainly help that relationship.”
The photos of Trump and the Agalarov clan having dinner while working on the Miss Universe deal were also confirmed by publicist Rob Goldstone, who posted a cropped version of one of the images onto his Facebook page.
House Democrats have reached the same conclusion as our report yesterday, which posits a potential link between the Trump Administration, and the surprise settlement of the Prevezon case, which Russian government-linked Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya was in this country to defend.
US Attorney Preet Bharara was prosecuting the case — and personally asked by Donald Trump to remain in office during the transition — until he was suddenly fired in April.
Only three days after FBI Director James Comey was fired on May 9th, the acting US Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced a surprise settlement on Friday night May 12th.
Our exclusive #TrumpLeaks stories about Trump’s Kremlin ties via the Miss Universe Moscow pageant began last November with a report by the Democratic Coalition’s Scott Dworkin.
