Bayrock partnered with Trump and his two eldest children on a series of real estate transactions between 2002 and 2011, according to Bloomberg, including the troubled Trump Soho hotel and condominium.

The Russian-born Sater and another Bayrock employee, Jody Kriss, conducted business with the Trump family on behalf of investor Tevfik Arif, a Kazakhstan native and former Soviet official living in Turkey who seeded the real estate company with a $10 million investment.

Kriss said he met most frequently with Ivanka and Donald Jr., while Sater had access to their father, but Arif was largely sidelined due to his difficulties speaking English.

He said the Trump children were involved in negotiations with Bayrock on those real estate deals, but their father had the final say.

“Donald was always in charge,” Kriss told Bloomberg. “Donald had to agree to every term of every deal and had to sign off on everything. Nothing happened unless he said it was okay to do it. Even if Donald Jr., shook your hand on a deal, he came back downstairs to renegotiate if his father told him to.”
