Ivanka, Trump-Azerbaijan Tower, And Money Laundering
The Trump-Azerbaijan Tower project is a notoriously shady deal and for some reason nobody seems to care.



For reporters needing to convince editors they can safely mention Trump’s prior financial ties to the IRGC, here are the receipts: The Trump Org proudly announced its Baku, Azerbaijan project in 2014 (the deal began in 2010, signed in 2011): prnewswire.com/news-releases/… 1/

Reporters: feel free to DM me or write me at mail@adamdavidson.com I don’t need any credit. I just think we’re doing a disservice to our audiences if we don’t report the Iran story with full context. Oh, and of course read my story on all this: newyorker.com/magazine/2017/… END


“Until recently, Trump knowingly participated in an IRGC front operation to launder money.” Think about that.

Then think about the fact that his daughter, who works in the White House, led the effort and Trump has gone to obscene lengths to taint Joe Biden with his son’s Ukraine sinecure. As Pelosi says, everything he accuses others of is projection.

If only the members of the media cared as much about all the various truly criminal Trump operations as they did about the ridiculous “emails” story in 2016, the public might know about this.
