On October 10, 2016, during the second presidential debate, Trump responded to claims from Hillary Clinton that Russia was working on his behalf by saying: "I know nothing about Russia. I know about Russia, but I know nothing about the inner workings of Russia. I don't deal there. I have no businesses there. I have no loans from Russia."
"On at least 23 occasions since the summer of 2016, Mr. Trump has said either that he had 'nothing' to do with Russia, or that he has 'no deals,' no investments and no 'business' in Russia," according to the New York Times.
They've been exposed as lies not primarily by Trump's critics but by those closest to him.
In 2008, Donald Trump Jr. told a real estate conference that Russians accounted for a significant part of the Trump's business interests.
On Thursday, Trump's longtime confidant and lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about Trump's business interests in Russia in order to protect candidate Trump's electoral prospects.
Cohen, who led the efforts, told investigators that Trump's efforts to establish a Trump Tower Moscow continued into June 2016, weeks after Trump had become the de facto GOP nominee and long after Cohen had told Congress they'd ended.
On Friday morning, Trump tweeted an acknowledgement of his business pursuits in Russia.
