House Russia investigators get access to Treasury data (FinCEN)

First on CNN: House Russia investigators get access to Treasury data

Investigators on the House intelligence committees have obtained access to valuable data from the Treasury Department, a development that will open their doors to investigate possible connections between President Donald Trump's business empire and Russians, CNN has learned.

Investigators received access to the financial data this week, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the development.

Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee told reporters Thursday that his committee also had gotten the Treasury Department data.

The Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network -- or FinCEN -- monitors global financing and frequently investigates money laundering. The agency collects data from banks around the world and is a critical source in identifying how shell companies move money.

make lots of bucks if they invent a board game along the lines of monopoly. You would have to take Rubles convert to dollars then hide them in Trump businesses and properties. The first one to make all their rubles disappear would be the winner.
