Islam Times - Contradicting what he told Comey, Trump spent the night in Russia

Islam Times - Flight records of Donald Trump’s trip to Russia confirm that he spent the night in Russia, contradicting what he had told former FBI Director James Comey, whom he fired amid the so-called Russia probe.

The president actually spent the night at the Ritz-Carlton in the Russian capital Moscow the night before the Miss Universe contest in November 2013, records obtained by Bloomberg revealed Monday.

“He slept in Moscow the night before the Miss Universe contest,” said the report.

According to Comey’s accounts of his 2017 meetings with President Trump, “He said he arrived in the morning, did events, then showered and dressed for the pageant at the hotel," and then left for the event.

“Afterwards, he returned only to get his things because they departed for New York by plane that same night," wrote the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, adding that the president further “explained, as he did at our dinner, that he hadn’t stayed overnight in Russia during the Miss Universe trip."

Trump’s former bodyguard, Keith Schiller, reportedly testified to US Congress last year that a Russian offered to “send five women” to his hotel room.

The investigation, referred to as the Russia probe, seeks to find out whether the Russian government coordinated with Trump’s aides after the intelligence community’s conclusion that the Kremlin helped with the New York billionaire’s campaign effort ahead of winning the White House, an allegation dismissed both by Moscow and the president.
