Russian pop star who set up infamous meeting denies offering Trump prostitutes in Moscow
Emin Agalarov brokered the Trump Tower meeting between campaign officials and a Russian lawyer offering dirt on Hillary Clinton
Emin Agalarov — the elusive Russian pop star infamous for brokering a meeting between Trump campaign officials and an attorney promising political dirt on Hillary Clinton — claims he never offered to send prostitutes to Donald Trump’s hotel room during his trip to Moscow for the 2013 Miss Universe pageant.
In his first response to allegations he played part in Russian collusion, Agalarov waved off the prostitute claim — which is referenced in the explosive Trump-Russia dossier compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele.
I would have never even offer [prostitutes to Trump] because I can never live up to the high level of the most amazing and beautiful women surrounding us constantly
“Mr Trump came to Moscow with 87 of the most beautiful ladies in the world,” Agalarov, 38, told Vice News Tonight on HBO in an interview set to air in full Tuesday night. “I would have never even offer it because I can never live up to the high level of the most amazing and beautiful women surrounding us constantly.”
Agalarov is the son of Aras Agalarov, a billionaire Russian oligarch with close ties to President Vladimir Putin who was once in talks with Trump to develop a since-defunct real estate project in Moscow.
The Agalarovs spent three days in Moscow with Trump during the 2013 pageant. The younger Agalarov said he had no knowledge of anyone offering Trump prostitutes.
That contrasts statements from Trump’s longtime bodyguard Keith Schiller, who testified last year he rebuffed an offer during the 2013 trip from someone who wanted to send five women to his boss’ room.
