Russian State-Run Bank Financed Deal Involving Trump Hotel Partner
Russian-Canadian developer put money into Toronto project after receiving hundreds of millions from deal involving VEB

VEB, a Russian state-run bank under scrutiny by U.S. investigators, financed a deal involving Donald Trumps onetime partner in a Toronto hotel tower at a key moment for the project, according to people familiar with the transaction..
The continuing story is here:

...the word from the Wall Street Journal today, after it dug into the financial history of the Toronto based Trump-branded hotel (link).
The newspaper has reported that Donald Trump owned a stake in the hotel at the time, a claim which he now denies.
But his camp is acknowledging that the hotel is managed by the Trump Organization.
Worse, the bank involved has direct ties to Vladimir Putin, Trumps own family, and a Russian spy ring in New York.

"...meaning that Putin himself was the one who signed off on the Trump Toronto project. VEB is also the bank that Donald Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner met with at Trump Tower in New York during the transition period.
And then theres the Russian spy ring in New York, which included one spy whose cover was a day job at VEB bank. That spy ring was busted in part by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara whom Donald Trump ended up firing after he took office.
More at Link.

The Trump crime family will indeed go down considering all we've come to know, & we only hear small shocking bits of all the dirty dealings they have around the world.

Damn!
Trump should to Russia. Pretty soon he will have to escape to Moscow into Putin's arms.

(678 posts)4. Lol..he's always got a home under Putin's roof.
I wish he would flee. Just gtfo already.
I wonder how much of Trump's crap is seizable anymore.
Property seizure would be some righteous justice for that bum.
Pence, Ryan & a few more down the line of succession also have the FEDS breathing down on their criminal backs, so one by one they either squeel, flee, or take what sentence is handed down.
Can't happen soon enough.
