CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Five days before the November election, a Russian billionaire’s jet wheeled to a stop at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

Less than 90 minutes later, Donald Trump’s campaign jet arrived on the same tarmac for an afternoon campaign rally in nearby Concord.

Who was aboard Dmitry Rybolovlev’s luxurious jet and whether the planes’ near-simultaneous arrival facilitated another previously undisclosed Russian contact with Trump, his family or campaign associates remain unanswered questions.

2. Russian oligarch docks yacht in Palm Beach ahead of Trump visit
A prominent Russian oligarch with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin has docked his 500-foot yacht in the Port of Palm Beach, just days before President Trump makes his way to Mar-a-Lago.

Roman Abramovich docked the yacht, which is estimated to be worth between $400 and $500 million, at the port on Friday afternoon, and is expected to stay until Dec. 5, according to The Palm Beach Post.

Abramovich's arrival comes days before Trump is set to arrive at his Florida resort, dubbed the "winter White House," for the Thanksgiving holiday. There have not been reports or signs that the two are meeting.

Abramovich owns London’s Chelsea Football Club and is the largest shareholder of Russia's second largest steel company. He is reportedly close with the Russian president.
First daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, have met with Abramovich and his wife before.

Bloomberg reported that Kushner disclosed his past meetings with Abramovich on his security clearance paperwork. The two have met multiple times at social events, and Ivanka Trump has been friends with Abramovich's wife for a decade.

A source told the publication that Kushner and Abramovich have never met with each other one-on-one.

The news comes as multiple congressional panels and special counsel Robert Mueller continue to probe alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

3. (doesn't directly involve Trump, but still has implications... this russian is "yacht boy".)

Russian oligarch buys 4th townhouse on street as slap in face to de Blasio

The mayor’s Russian oligarch “problem” just got bigger.

Russian steel czar Roman Abramovich has tightened his grip on East 75th Street, scooping up a total of now four townhomes in a row, The Post has learned. The details of Abramovich’s fourth acquisition come just days after Mayor de Blasio griped about wealthy Russians using “ill-gotten gains” to snap up US property.

Abramovich, who is worth an estimated $9.6 billion, secretly purchased the home at 9 E. 75th St. as part of his collection, which also includes 11, 13 and 15 E. 75th St.

He had initially hoped to combine Nos. 11, 13 and 15 to form one of the largest homes in the city. But then No 9 became available for sale.

Abramovich now believes that his proposed new combo of 9, 11 and 13 will be a better “fit” — and still give him a mansion fit for a king, a source said .
