| Did you get my letter? |
Donald Trump was so eager to have Vladimir Putin attend the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow that he wrote a personal letter to the Russian president inviting him to the event, according to multiple people familiar with the document.
At the bottom of the typed letter, Trump scrawled a postscript adding that he looked forward to seeing “beautiful” women during his trip.
Trump’s letter to Putin, which was described by people with knowledge of its contents, shows how interested he was in attracting the personal attention of the Russian president. The real estate magnate, who owned the Miss Universe pageant, wrote the note at a time when he was looking to expand his brand to Russia.
The letter, the first known attempt at direct outreach by Trump to Putin, has been turned over to investigators probing Russia’s interference in the 2016 campaign. It is unclear whether Trump’s missive was ever delivered to the Russian president — and if so, whether Putin responded.
John Dowd, an attorney for President Trump, said he was not familiar with the letter. “It’s all nonsense,” he said. A White House spokesman and attorneys for the Trump Organization declined to comment.
I think "It's all nonsense" is lawyer speak for "WTF? I had no idea this even existed."
And by the way there is no way that Trump did not have this letter delivered to Putin.
After all Trump was going all fan girl over Putin in those days.
By the way if Mueller was able to get his hands on this letter, than I am more and more convinced that he also has all of Trump's tax returns as well.
And it makes the request by Trump's lawyers to wrap this investigation up seem more than a little silly.
