The House Intelligence Committee sent one of its members to Cyprus this week as part of its ongoing investigation into Russia and the Trump campaign, adding a new twist to the ongoing inquiry.
Cyprus has a reputation as a laundromat for the Russians who are trying to avoid sanctions, Rep. Mike Quigley told The Daily Beast. It was extraordinarily helpful in understanding how the Russians launder money and why.
The Democratic congressman did not go into detail about what he found during his four-day trip to the Mediterranean country. But publicly available reporting hints at how Cyprus may be tied to the committees investigation.
The Trump administrations Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross, was involved in a business deal with a Russian businessman with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin while he was the vice-chairman of the Bank of Cyprus.
