ZEMBLA:
THE DUBIOUS FRIENDS OF DONALD TRUMP PART ONE: THE RUSSIANS
THE DUBIOUS FRIENDS OF DONALD TRUMP PART TWO: KING OF DIAMONDS
Although still in its early days, Donald Trumps presidency is coming under fire. The Russians are alleged to be in possession of sensitive information about Trump. And that exposes Trump to blackmail. Fake news, tweets Trump: I have nothing to do with Russia no deals, no loans, no nothing! Trump swears he has no ties with the Russians. But is that actually the case?
In the second part of our programme about Donald Trumps controversial friends, we will set our sights on the Russian Jewish billionaire Lev Leviev, who is controversial because he is suspected of trading in blood diamonds. He is one of the worlds biggest diamond traders and owns prestigious stores in New York and Moscow, but he is also the owner of Siebel, the Netherlands biggest jewellery chain. Leviev has ties with Russian president Putin, US president Trump and his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner. Trump, however, claims he hardly knows this King of Diamonds . Zembla investigates Lev Levievs business empire.
