Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of Donald Trump, who acts as his senior White House adviser, secured a multimillion-dollar Manhattan real estate deal with a Soviet-born oligarch whose company was cited in a major New York money laundering case now being probed by members of Congress.

A Guardian investigation has established a series of overlapping ties and relationships involving alleged Russian money laundering, New York real estate deals and members of Trump’s inner circle. They include a 2015 sale of part of the old New York Times building in Manhattan involving Kushner and a billionaire real estate tycoon and diamond mogul, Lev Leviev.

The ties between Trump family real estate deals and Russian money interests are attracting growing interest from the justice department’s special counsel, Robert Mueller, as he seeks to determine whether the Trump campaign collaborated with Russia to distort the outcome of the 2016 race. Mueller has reportedly expanded his inquiry to look at real estate deals involving the Trump Organization, as well as Kushner’s financing.

4. A must read! This ties it all together.

My take on this is that the June 2016 was about the following:

Russia would help to hack our elections in return for letting the
money laundering of Russian mob money to continue and that
a future Trump administrtation would drop the charges against
Prevezon holdings.

And that the Russians lent money to Kushner and Trump so they
could buy the NYC real estate which the Russian mob would use
to launder their money along w/getting their hooks into Trump
and Kushner.

5. "Lev Leviev"

Couldn't he find a lender with a less mobster-sounding name?

Russian oligarch, money laundering. How can they claim with a straight face that we aren't seeing what we are seeing?

In Cadre a real estate company that has foreign investment including Yuri Milner a Russian billioinaire who is heavily invested in the US tech sector that has Russian mob ties

A growing New York investment shop that primarily provides joint-venture equity is aiming to fund more than $1 billion of commercial real estate purchases in the coming year.

Cadre, launched two years ago by Ryan Williams and brothers Jared and Josh Kushner, supplies equity to investors that have lined up acquisitions. Using a $250 million capital commitment from an unidentified family office, the firm typically provides equity up front, then syndicates the deal to a stable of pre-approved investors.

Those investors include nearly 200 wealthy individuals and institutions. All go through a vetting process to qualify for access to the firm’s web-based platform, where they can choose to participate in any of Cadre’s individual deals.

[...]

Cadre, formed in November 2014, has attracted some $70 million in venture capital from backers including Alibaba chairman Jack Ma, Goldman, Founders Fund of San Francisco, General Catalyst Partners of Cambridge, Mass., Russian billionaire Yuri Milner and New York REIT SL Green.

Interesting that Milner is a high stake owner in Facebook, Zynga (Facebook games) Spotify, AirBNB, Groupon, Slack, Digital Sky Technologies, and much more
