President Trump signed a letter of intent to begin negotiations about a Trump Tower in Moscow, though his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, insists that didn’t happen.
CNN obtained a copy of the signed, non-binding document, dated Oct. 28, 2015. But in an interview Sunday, Giuliani said the letter had never been signed by Trump.
“It was a real estate project. There was a letter of intent to go forward, but no one signed it,” Giuliani told CNN.
The letter is also signed by Andrey Rozov, the owner of Russian firm I.C. Expert Investment Co., which would have developed the property had the project moved forward.
Trump has repeatedly claimed he had “nothing to do with Russia,” including no loans, no deals, “no nothing.”
The Trump Tower project would have paid the president’s company a $4 million fee upfront and a percentage of the sales, as well as control over marketing and design.
The president’s former fixer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty last month to lying to Congress about negotiations related to the proposed Trump Tower.
Both Cohen and the president’s son Donald Trump Jr. previously told congressional investigators that Trump had signed the letter.
