WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s personal lawyer confirmed Monday that the president’s com- pany pursued a project in Moscow during the Repub- lican primary, but said that the plan was abandoned “for a variety of business reasons.” The attorney, Mi- chael Cohen, also said he sent an email to the spokes- man for Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of the potential deal. The confirmation that the Trump Organization was actively considering doing business in Russia during the presidential election could provide spe- cial counsel Robert Muel- ler with motivation for probing Trump’s personal and business finances, a line Trump has warned him not to cross.
