On Wednesday, President Trump’s personal attorney, Charles Harder, fired off a letter to NBCUniversal warning that a defamation suit would be forthcoming if NBCUniversal did not offer a retraction or apology for allegations reported by MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell that Russian oligarchs co-signed loans to Trump.
The Hollywood Reporter (THR) noted that O’Donnell was speaking to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on “The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell” Tuesday night when he stated that a “single source close to Deutsche Bank has told me that the Trump — Donald Trump’s loan documents there show that he has co-signers. That’s how he was able to obtain those loans. And that the co-signers are Russian oligarchs.” He added, “That would explain, it seems to me, every kind word Donald Trump has ever said about Russia and Vladimir Putin, if true, and I stress the ‘if true’ part of this.”
