0:00.0	In September 2015, three months into Donald Trump's campaign for president, a man
0:05.8	named Felix Seder pitched the candidate's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, with an
0:10.6	ambitious proposal to build a luxury hotel and office complex in Russia that
0:15.5	would be called Trump World Tower Moscow. Seder, a real estate advisor to the
