A letter of intent forwarded by Russian-born businessman Felix Sater to the Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen, outlines the terms of a licensing agreement to purchase property to build a "Trump World Tower Moscow."
Sater sent the letter of intent - dated October 13, 2015, and signed by a Russian investor named Andrey Rozov - to Cohen for then-candidate Donald Trump's signature.
Emails exchanged between Cohen and Sater - who have known each other since they were teenagers - weeks later indicated that they were preparing to celebrate not only Trump's election victory, but also the potential Russia deal.
Sater boasted of his ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin in the emails, which were obtained by The New York Times, telling Cohen that he would "get all of Putins team to buy in" on the Moscow deal.
Slater email to Cohen: "Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it," Sater wrote, according to The Times. "I will get Putin on this program and we will get Donald elected."
Two months later, Cohen emailed Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, asking for his "assistance" in pushing the deal through, according to emails submitted to congressional investigators
