Author claims Eric Trump told him all funding for Trump golf courses comes from Russia in 2014

Golf writer James Dodson claims Eric Trump told him in 2014 that all the funding for Trump golf courses comes from Russia while the two were at one of the family’s clubs.

“As we were setting off, I said, ‘Eric, who’s funding? I know no banks — because of the recession, the Great Recession — have touched a golf course. You know, no one’s funding any kind of golf construction. It’s dead in the water the last four or five years,'” Dodson told Boston public radio station WBUR-FM about golfing with the president’s son at Trump National Golf Club in Charlotte, N.C.

“He said, ‘Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.’ I said, ‘Really?’ And he said, ‘Oh, yeah. We’ve got some guys that really, really love golf, and they’re really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time.’ Now that was three years ago, so it was pretty interesting.”

The president has faced increased scrutiny over his alleged ties to Russia since U.S. intelligence communities have said Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

Shortly before his inauguration, Trump tweeted that “Russia has never tried to use leverage over me.”

“I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA – NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!” he wrote.

Democrats have pushed for Trump to release his tax returns to prove he has no financial connections to Russia.
