Publicist who set up infamous Trump Tower meeting: Putin lied about not knowing of Trump’s 2013 Moscow trip

Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed on Monday that there was no possible way he could have authorized his government to gather compromising information on President Donald Trump in 2013 because he didn’t even realize at the time that Trump was visiting Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant.

However, Rob Goldstone — the official publicist for the Agalarov family who set up the infamous 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between Donald Trump Jr. and Russian agents promising dirt on Hillary Clinton — says that Putin is lying.

“President Putin just said he had no idea Donald Trump was in Moscow in 2013,” Goldstone writes on Twitter. “I know for sure that he did.”

Goldstone then went on to say that the full story would be revealed in an upcoming book — titled “Popstars, Pageants and Presidents: How an Email Trumped My Life” — that is releasing this fall.

Trump’s press event with Putin has been widely panned by former U.S. diplomats and intelligence officials, as the president cast doubt on his own intelligence agencies’ conclusions that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election while also praising Putin’s offer to have his own intelligence agencies investigate themselves.

1. Quoteth Vlad

Combatting the idea that Trump and Putin trust one another, Putin said, “You can trust no one.”

When asked about reports that Russia has compromising material on Trump: "Now to the compromising material, I did hear this rumor. When Trump visited Moscow back then, I didn’t even know he was in Moscow.”

2. The russians know every high profile person who they can blackmail that comes into Moscow.

Make no mistake, they are told upon or before arrival through intel and i bet it flags up immediately on their systems.
