Looking Into Trump Campaign's Russia Ties, Investigators Follow The Money
Source: NPR
Investigators looking into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia will be able to pursue leads by tapping into a huge database of suspicious financial transactions maintained by the federal government.
Under the Bank Secrecy Act, financial institutions operating in the U.S. are supposed to inform the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, when they see transactions that indicate possible money laundering, such as all-cash purchases of expensive real estate.
Senate investigators indicated last week that they would be using the database to begin tracking the financial activities of some of President Trump's associates.
