Trump's afraid of House Dems investigating "Inflows of money from Russian mobsters." [View all]

With news that the Trump Organization will soon be under investigation by the new Democratic majority in the House of Representatives, a biographer who’s researched the president’s finances for years outlined exactly what he has to be afraid of.

“Inflows of money from Russian mobsters and other criminal elements” are likely to be chief among Trump’s concerns, biographer David Cay Johnston told CNN’s John Berman on Wednesday night.

“Donald has long done business with these people and allowed them to purchase apartments from him through anonymous wealth corporations,” Johnston said.

The biographer provided an example: “If you had a desire to buy a Trump Tower apartment in the name of Snow, Inc., Donald didn’t ask, ‘gee, is that a ski lodge in Colorado or a cocaine trafficking business?’ He just said, pay up and I’ll be glad to sell you the apartment.”
