Senate requests Trump documents from agency that monitors money laundering
4 Hours Ago | 01:08
The Senate panel has requested information about President Donald Trump and his top aides from a financial intelligence unit in the Treasury Department that imposed a $10 million civil penalty on Trump Taj Mahal in 2015 for multiple violations of money-laundering laws.
The Senate Intelligence Committee wants to see any information relevant to its Russia investigation the Treasury agency has gathered, including evidence that might include possible money laundering, according to a committee aide who spoke on condition of anonymity. Also at issue: to what extent, if at all, people close to Vladimir Putin have invested in Trump's real estate empire.
The request, made in recent weeks, comes as part of the Senate's investigation into whether Trump associates colluded with Russian meddling in the U.S. election. The FBI is also investigating that issue, but that probe is now under a cloud after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.
This is not new news. The article above is from 2015.
NO IT'S NOT FROM 2015.
This is NEW....the Senate Intel Committee JUST NOW asked for this info on the 2015 probe and fine. They are tying in trump's money laundering with Russian oligarchs. trump and his businesses have been getting big bucks from Russia FOR MANY YEARS. Just ask Eric trump. The link could be if trump couldn't pay the vig on the loans, that he has been compromised by the Russians.
