Russian elite invested nearly $100 million in Trump buildingsMoscow on the Beach
MIAMI/MOSCOW During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump downplayed his business ties with Russia. And since taking office as president, he has been even more emphatic.
I can tell you, speaking for myself, I own nothing in Russia, President Trump said at a news conference last month. I have no loans in Russia. I dont have any deals in Russia.
But in the United States, members of the Russian elite have invested in Trump buildings. A Reuters review has found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida, according to public documents, interviews and corporate records.

(70,449 posts)TFG is owned by Putin, the Russian mob, and Russian backed banks. His businesses were all failures and he
was kept afloat by Russian money, money laundering through his real estate, and he was propped up as a
"business genius" by "The Apprentice" which I have no doubt had Russian money behind it.
All of this was public knowledge in 2016 but all we heard about was Hillary and her emails.
