again, this is new reporting in the rosalind and tom and carol reporting.ecently asked for records related to trump tower moscow. the recently reported plan to build a new trump tower skyscraper in moscow. a plan that the president's real estate organization was working on during the campaign. the president never mentioned that while he was running for president, even though he personally signed a letter of intent to pursue trump tower moscow in october 2015, which was right in the thick of the republican primary when all of the debates were happening and all of the rest of it. so i think that it's important not to lose that piece of it. it's one thing to know here, particularly given the president's past on the record threat that he would fire robert mueller if mueller started looking into his real estate business. now "the washington post" is reporting that mueller is definitely looking into the president's real estate business. at least the part of it that happened during the presidential campaign and that secretly involved russia. so i know a lot of stu

jordan i correspondent in washington they say so what is ross saying rosalind. well ross has apparently given a brief broadcast interviews to two other international broadcasters and he says that he has done nothing wrong in a statement that was released by the commerce department on sunday it indicated that the commerce secretary is very much in favor of sanctioning russia and venezuela among other countries for bad behavior and that he disclosed what he needed to disclose under u.s. law when he was nominated to take over the commerce department late last fall now it's important to note that even though wilbur ross who has a long career of working in international business and is known as someone who tries to work with companies that have been on the verge of bankruptcy and bringing them back to solvency it's worth noting that while he was questioned about his ties to russian business officials and russian government officials while he was undergoing his confirmation hearing senators did not ask him about his investment in navigator which is a company that does
