Pop star connected to Trump-Russia scandal hints at saucier elements of dossier in new music video

Oh, so that's what happened.

Russian pop star Emin _ a significant figure in the ongoing Trump-Russia scandal _ released a new music video highlighting some of the major controversies of President Donald Trump's presidency, including references to details in found in the leaked dossier that emerged last year.

The video for his song "Got Me Good," released Tuesday, shows Emin and a Trump impersonator rendezvousing with bikini-clad pageant contestants who jump on a bed inside a fancy hotel room.

In the 35-page leaked dossier _ which has not been fully verified _ Trump is accused of telling Russian prostitutes to defile a Ritz Carlton hotel room bed that Barack and Michelle Obama had previously slept in. He's also accused of taking part in sex parties while in St. Petersburg.

In the new music video, Emin also depicts himself as being involved in a series of sketchy activities involving the Trump family, including handing a briefcase to Trump, as well as one to his daughter Ivanka.

Another scene shows Emin giving a stack of money to a woman meant to portray Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who claims she slept with Trump in 2006 and was paid years later to keep her mouth shut.

Emin, 38, also at one point accepts an envelope from Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg and takes a shot with Hillary Clinton.

It was revealed last year that the pop star _ whose full name is Emin Agalarov _ and Rob Goldstone, his publicist, helped connect Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort with a group including a Russian attorney that they hoped would bring them dirt on Clinton.

The singer's relationship with the Trump family dates back years, as Emin and his father _ Russian oligarch Aras Agalarov _ met Trump in 2013 after it was announced his Miss Universe pageant would be held at Aras' concert hall in Moscow later that year.

The real Trump was featured in an Emin music video in November 2013 alongside a slew of Miss Universe contestants, with Trump at the end of the video telling the singer "you're fired," his famous line from "The Apprentice."
