A series of top Republican elected officials have just been exposed for accepting outsized donations from one of the worlds richest men, Leonid Len Blavatnik. Blavatnik is a Ukrainian-born businessman whose fortune comes from owning a company purchased by Putins Rosneft, the state-run Russian oil company cited in the infamous Russian pee tape dossier.
Americans have asked why Congressional Republicans continued to defend President Trumps secret relationship with Putin and their collision in last years elections, and these massive Super PAC donations could help explain why.

Donald Trump and the political action committees for Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich and John McCain accepted $7.35 million in contributions from a Ukrainian-born oligarch who is the business partner of two of Russian president Vladimir Putins favorite oligarchs and a Russian government bank.
