Trump produces legal letter which he says clears him of all involvement in Russia (except for the $54million profit on a house sale, Miss Universe proceeds, condo sales, hotel bookings, green fees and other ‘exceptions’!)
‘President Donald Trump produced a letter Friday from his business’s lawyers ‘certifying’ that he has no investments in Russia and receives no income ‘of any type from Russian sources’ – all based on his tax returns.
But it then went on to say that the lawyer was listing ‘exceptions’, which it said were the profit on a house sale to a Russia, which amounted to $54 million, the proceeds of 2012 Miss Universe, which was a ‘substantial portion of $12.2 million’, and ‘ordinary course sale of good or services to Russians and Russian entities’.
And then ABC News reported that the legal firm he used to send the ‘certified’ letter, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, was named ‘Russia Law Firm of the Year’ in 2016 by the London-based legal research publication Chambers & Partners.
The firm called it a ‘prestigious honor’ and said it was ‘the latest honor for the high-profile work performed by the lawyers in Morgan Lewis’ Moscow office’.’
