the city of sochi in russia, it would have been russia's first olympic games since 1980. it's interesting, most people thought pyeongchang was going to get it. pyeongchang had only narrowly come in second place to vancouver for the 2010 olympics so people thought they had -- still had a good chance. they had a pretty good bid in 2010. in tend, though, pyeongchang didn't get it, russia got it, sochi was awarded the olympic games for 2014. and in order to win that bid, in order to get awarded the olympics that year, russia really had to pull out all the stops. they were not favored to get it. they hadn't had one in a long, long time. they hadn't had an olympics since 1980. i think they knew in 2007 that was their best chance to get one. they really put the pedal to the metal. for example, vladimir putin personally flew to guatemala city to make the pitch for russia getting the olympics in person and when he got there he made that pitch in person in three languages. i'm not sure people were widely aware he speaks languages other than russian. he doesn't like to show that off

it's putin's kind of pet bank which has been involved in financing some of his pet projects like the sochiter olympics. it's helping bail out some of the oligarchs closest to putin. it's a very politically sensitive institution. it's also been under u.s. sanctions and e.u. sanctions since the aggression against ukraine. and it's in deep financial trouble as a result of that. apparently it has something like a $20 billion debt. so they were clearly looking to establish a relationship with the new administration, maybe to get out from under those sanctions. we hear that it was just an inconsequential discussion. but even establishing a relationship obviously had some kind of ulterior motive on the russian side. >> why would someone ask a u.s. official to meet with a russian bank? is that common? >> well, it's not totally common but it's not out of the question for an ambassador who's supposed to be representing his country's economic interests as well as political interests to seek a meeting with a high-level visitor. >> but when we talk about banks and russia, this is -- i want you to expla
