Ex-Russian Spy Worked on Trump Moscow Deal

“A former Russian spy helped Donald Trump’s business team seek financing for a Trump-branded tower in the heart of Moscow during the 2016 presidential campaign,” BuzzFeed News reports.

“This connection between Trump and Russian intelligence — made public here for the first time — is known to special counsel Robert Mueller’s team and raises fresh questions about the president’s connections to the Kremlin. The former agent, who had served in Russia’s military intelligence arm known as the GRU and later worked as an arms dealer, negotiated for financing from a Russian state-owned bank that was under US sanctions at the time.”

“BuzzFeed News is not naming the the Russian agent because two US intelligence officials said that doing so would endanger his life.”

It'll take a lifetime to read all the books that will come out. There is enough info already for an undergraduate Poly Sci course.

that provided inducements to Donald Trump to encourage him to run for president and place his loyalties with Russia above his loyalty to America?
