A BIZARRE music video shot during Donald Trump’s 2013 visit to Moscow was filmed in the Ritz Carlton hotel.
Yesterday it was reported that Russia allegedly obtained explosive sexual material on the US president-elect during an unspecified stay at the same hotel.
There is no evidence that the claims in the leaked report occurred during Trump’s 2013 trip which centred around the Miss Universe contest in the Russian capital which he owned.
But spy experts have claimed that Vladimir Putin spooks would have spied on the billionaire during his stay – including bugging his hotel room.
Trump appeared in pop star Emin Agalarov’s music video poking fun at his role on TV show The Apprentice.
Emin's father Aras Agalarov helped Trump's bring the beauty contest to Moscow.
Ten days before the pageant, Putin bestowed the Order of Honor on Agalarov.
A close friend of Trump, Agalarov’s company Crocus Group has built a number of key projects important to the Kremlin, as well as the vast arena where Miss Universe was held.
Trump remains friends with the Russian tycoon – whose personal fortune is close to £1billion - and his musician son.
The song featured in the video was also sang at Miss Universe contest, winning lavish praise from the New York mogul.
Agalarov senior is on record as saying: "It was me who invited him to come. And he accepted my invitation.
"Basically, we are still in touch. Mr Trump was even filmed in Emin's video clip, you can find it online.
"Emin has good relations with Trump, I have good relations with him. He is a very good man."
He said: "When Donald Trump was here in Moscow, he said a lot of good words about our country, our culture and our people.
"He liked Russia very much.
"In his interviews he is saying that when he is elected president of the USA, he will keep in mind that he has got good friends in Russia."
Intelligence experts claim Russia would have spied on Trump during his 2013 visit to Moscow and may have left himself open to surveillance.
In December, Mother Jones spoke with three intelligence experts who all agreed that the Kremlin would have spied on Trump during his time in the Russian capital.
Following the Miss Universe event, Trump claimed in an interview with Real Estate Weekly that he had mingled with "almost all of the oligarchs” at an after party.
A former high-ranking CIA official, who did not want to be named, told Mother Jones he is “nearly certain” that Russian spies would have “done some sort of surveillance on him.”
This could have included “video/audio of hotel room and monitoring of electronics.”
James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, also confirmed that Trump would have been targeted by Putin’s spooks.
He said: “It's safe to assume that high-profile public figures and billionaires attract the attention of the Russian security services, including bugging any hotel rooms."
Mother Jones also interviewed Malcolm Nance, a terrorism and intelligence expert and author of The Plot to Hack America, who offered explosive analysis of Trump’s 2013 trip.
He insisted that unless Trump used military-grade communications technology then Russian intelligence would have been able to hack him.
He said: “His mobile phone, Bluetooth, and laptops were most likely not shielded and could have been intercepted and exploited any number of ways.
“This means virtually everything he said, everything he texted, everything he wrote, and every communication he had in the electronic spectrum would be in the possession of Russian intelligence then and now.
“His guest rooms in Moscow could have had virtually undetectable voice and video communications intercept devices planted in such a way that nothing could be done by Trump in private and would defy detection.”
The unnamed ex-CIA operative also added that Trump would have needed to use a ‘burner phone’, meaning a device he had never used before, while in Moscow.
But Mother Jones reports that tweets Trump sent during his trip were sent using an Android device – which is reportedly the type of phone the President-elect uses to send his own social media posts.
