Donald Trump: Kremlin confirms receiving email about Moscow real estate project but ignored it

Source: ABC Online (Australia)

Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman has confirmed he received an email in January last year from an adviser to Donald Trump about a Moscow real estate project, but said he neither replied nor discussed it with Mr Putin.
...
Answering questions about the matter on a conference call with reporters, Mr Peskov said he had seen the email — along with many others he said he receives every day — but did not respond to it because the request was not the kind of thing he dealt with in his job as Kremlin spokesman.

He said Mr Cohen had written about "a certain Russian company and certain people" who wanted to build a skyscraper in Moscow and wanted his help in making the stalled project a reality.

But Mr Peskov said the request was off topic and that responding to it fell outside his job description.

....that *all* of his underlings probably use their own initiative to decide whether or not to show him something. Right.
