#TrumpJr called #HowardLorber--In Nov1996, Howard Lorber and Ben LeBow brought Trump to Moscow to discuss plans for a tobacco factory, Trump Organization and the city of Moscow with the Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov. Also, #MichaelCohen's brother worked for Lorber's Douglass Elliman.
Despite of the apparent financial crisis, during the week of November 6, 1996, Trump negotiated $300 million investments in Moscow. Introduced by Lerber and LeBow, he met with two of Moscow's vice mayors, including Vladimir Resin, the vice mayor in charge of construction and
"one of the key people in charge of attracting foreign invest to the Moscow real estate market." The city was "very receptive" to the idea of Trump's developments in Moscow. old.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/t…
Trump told a press conference that he was planning to put his name to a luxury residential center of at least 30,000 square meters—to be called Trump International—as part of the Ducat Place development.
The Ducat Place was owned by Liggett-Ducat, a subsidiary of the U.S.-based Brooke Group, Ltd, that had a 98-year lease on the site. The second project in negotiations was a Moscow Trump Tower, a residential building of approximately 55,000 square meters in the Prospekt Mira area.
Trump said “he would be meeting with high-level city officials, saying only that "there are some other ideas we want to explore" with them. At the same press-conference, LeBow, Howard Lorber's partner, named four financial backers for the projects: Brooke Group;
the investment banking firm Jeffries & Company, Inc.; one of the largest real estate owners and investors in the United States, the Apollo Group; and the Trump Organization.
In 1996, Ted Liebman, an architect based in New York, said that Trump and Liggett-Ducat ordered sketches of the Moscow Trump tower, a high-end residential development near an old Russian Olympic stadium, for their meeting with officials in Moscow.nytimes.com/2017/01/16/us/…
In December 1996, Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Moscow Vladimir Resin told reporters that Yuri Luzhkov's office is in talks with Trump about the reconstruction of the Rossiya and Moscow hotels. The cost of projects was estimated at $300 million.

As I have explained before, the key to understanding this mechanism is "krysha," literally "a roof." All power structures in Russia are under one "roof": the Kremlin. The system is centralized. A slush fund is used for the hybrid war. Installing puppet governments is a tool.
Here is a brief explanation and history of the #MafiaState that goes back to the 90s. The same people that negotiated with Lorber, LeBow and Trump and Giuliani are in power. They use the same methods.
