CREW sends Trump-Russia financial ties letter to Mueller
CREW sent a letter to Special Counsel Robert Mueller underscoring the importance of investigating the possible financial ties between President Donald Trump and Russia, especially in light of the revelation that on June 9, 2016 Donald J. Trump, Jr., Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner met with a lawyer presented as “a Russian government attorney” who they were told would deliver “official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary [Clinton] and her dealings with Russia…” It is more important than ever to assess all ways in which President Trump and those around him might be subject to influence by Russia, including through financial connections and transactions.
There is significant evidence, detailed in the letter, that President Trump has significant financial ties to Russian businesses and the Russian government.
