Financial leverage. Donald Trump’s finances historically have been opaque, but there
have long been credible allegations as to the use of Trump properties to launder money
by Russian oligarchs, criminals, and regime cronies. There also remain critical
unanswered questions about the source of President Trump’s personal and corporate
financing. For example, Deutsche Bank, which was fined $630 million in 2017 over its
involvement in a $10 billion Russian money-laundering scheme, consistently has been
the source of financing for President Trump, his businesses, and his family. We have only
begun to explore the relationship between President Trump and Deutsche Bank, and
between the bank and Russia. Moreover, as the Committee has learned, candidate
Trump’s private business was actively negotiating a business deal in Moscow with a
sanctioned Russian bank during the election period. We must also seek to determine: Did
the Russian government, through business figures close to the Kremlin, seek to court
Donald Trump and launder funds through the Trump Organization; and did candidate
Trump’s financial exposure via Deutsche Bank or other private loans constitute a point of
leverage that Russia may have exploited and may still be using?

What a convenient article to go with that Mueller one!

Babby-in-chief is a corrupt scumbag, who knew?

Why else would he change the laws to line his pockets with the taxpayers money.

i think it's sort of hilarious how vehemently trump, his henchmen, and several GOP members denied having had any meetings with any russians at all.

and then, as time went on, concrete evidence of several such meetings became public knowledge. and they still denied it.

and then some of those russians came out and said they had meetings with GOP members, Trump Jr., and so on, and the GOP still denied it.

and then the House Intelligence Committee concludes that several such meetings absolutely took place, inappropriately, in several places and at several times, with bad judgement perhaps.

but, of course, certainly no collusion took place! NO Collusion!

seriously, how can these people expect anyone to take them seriously? even an uninformed person looking at news headlines would be able to put together a mostly complete picture of what happened between the years of 2012 and 2018 involving donald trump, key GOP members, and key Kremlin officials + specific Oligarchs in Russia
