FGPS:"For a guy who went to Russia a fair amount-Trump didn't seem to ever get any deals done there"

During his testimony, Simpson detailed ways that money had been stolen from a bank in Kazakhstan, then laundered throughout multiple countries — before possibly being funneled in part to the Trump Soho hotel project.

I'd remove the word "possibly". TRump was making illegal money.
