The Trump Organization floated the idea of giving Vladimir Putin a $50 million penthouse at the top of the proposed Trump Tower Moscow, a report said on Thursday.

President Trump’s company made the proposal to the Russian leader as the business was planning to build the luxury hotel in the midst of the 2016 presidential campaign, according to BuzzFeed News.

Trump personal lawyer Michael Cohen — who admitted to negotiating a proposal for the building on Thursday — discussed the penthouse idea with a representative for Putin, the website reported.

Cohen associate Felix Sater admitted to coming up with the idea as a marketing strategy.

“In Russia, the oligarchs would bend over backwards to live in the same building as Vladimir Putin,” Sater told BuzzFeed News.

“My idea was to give a $50 million penthouse to Putin and charge $250 million more for the rest of the units. All the oligarchs would line up to live in the same building as Putin.”

Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about the real estate project on Thursday.

In response, Trump admitted that he was expecting to get back into the real estate business if he had lost the election.

“There was a good chance that I wouldn’t have won,” Trump told reporters. “I would have gotten back into the business, and why should I lose lots of opportunities?”

Critics charge that Trump should not have been dealing with a hostile power while Russians were actively engaged in disrupting the US presidential election.
