Putin's Daughter Is Linked To Wilbur Ross Another Trump-Russia Connection? [View all]
Source: Newsweek
President Donald Trump's Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is doing business with Russian President Vladimir Putin's son-in-law, a bombshell new report revealed Tuesday.
A large leak of financial documents called the Paradise Papers revealed several weeks ago that Russian billionaire Kirill Shamanov, the son of a close friend of Putin, does business with Ross — but until Tuesday, the exact connection between Shamanov and Putin was unclear.
Katerina Tikhonova – a wealthy dancer married to Shamanov – has finally been confirmed to be the daughter of Putin, Reuters reported.
Vladimir Putin has been so secretive about this daughter's identity that Kremlinologists have spent years trying to confirm that Tikhonova is Putin’s offspring. Sources previously told the media that Tikhonova was Putin’s daughter, but then they backtracked and vehemently denied their comments. Now, a man who worked with Tikhonova has confirmed on-the-record that she is Putin’s daughter. Shamanov allegedly married Tikhonova in 2013, and attendees at the couple’s wedding were reportedly sworn to secrecy.

Meanwhile, Ross maintained his holdings in Shamanov’s company even after taking a position in the Trump administration, which some experts believe is a conflict of interest because the Commerce Secretary is consulted on which Russians to sanction.
