American-born ex-hedge fund manager Bill Browder says he feared being turned over to Russian authorities by then-US president Donald Trump after Russian president Vladimir Putin floated a bizarre interrogation exchange proposal during their infamous 2018 summit in Helsinki, Finland.
In an excerpt from his forthcoming book reported in The Times, Mr Browder recalled being in the United States during Mr Trump’s summit and receiving a slew of incoming text messages, emails and other messages from concerned friends offering him temporary housing and shelter.
