Russians Bragged About Having Derogatory Info on Trump’s Financial Ties to Putin’s Allies

According to new reporting , intercepted calls show that Russian government officials were over-heard discussing “derogatory” information the Kremlin has on Donald Trump.

While monitoring communications, US intelligence officials explained that Russians were talking about having “leverage” over Trump’s inner circle and that they were assured “they had the ability to influence the administration through the derogatory information.”

Based on sourcing by intelligence and congressional persons, the information Russia has on Trump is “financial in nature”.

And according to the reporting, this conversation intercept is proof that Russia’s influence over the election also extended to having blackmail material against Trump and his campaign.

That is because this new reporting matches some of the claims mentioned in the now infamous Christopher Steele dossier .

Steele’s account of events contains the revelation that Russia has “kompromat” or damaging or embarrassing material which could be used to blackmail Trump. This includes information on Trump’s financial activities in Russia.

Sheri Dillion, Trump’s tax attorney and recent winner of an award from the Russian government, tried to smooth over her client’s many financial dealings with Russia earlier this month. Dillon’s firm wrote a letter released by the White House claiming that Trump has limited financial entanglements with Russia.

Beginning with the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant held in Moscow that was funded pageant was funded by Aras Agalarov, a Russian real estate billionaire with connections to Putin. In fact, Agalarov arranged a meeting between Trump and Herman Gref, Putin’s former minister of the economy and current CEO of Sberbank, Russia’s largest financial institution.

Dillon also acknowledged a home in Palm Beach that Trump sold to a Russian oligarch in 2008 for $95 million 12 years ago. The buyer of the home was Dmitry Rybolovlev , known as the “fertilizer king” and long-time associate of Putin.

Digging deeper into the web, Steven Rosenthal, senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center, explained that the Russians “would not lend directly to Trump or his businesses”; instead they might “fund a Cyprus corporation, which would lend to Trump or his businesses, possibly through other intermediary entities.”

The “few exceptions” may include access to $100 million dollars from Russian banks that Eric Trump reportedly told sports writer James Durban back in 2014. Eric said: “We have all the funding we need out of Russia.”

And it may also be the “hundreds of millions of dollars” Sergei Millian, head of a Russian-US business consortium, admitted to ABC News last September that Trump profited from due to his ties to Russian oligarchs.

Then there’s the 2008 real estate conference where Donald Trump Jr told a room full of investors that his family’s business is funded in part of Russians.

Donald Jr said: “In terms of high-end product influx into the US, Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets; say in Dubai, and certainly with our project in SoHo and anywhere in New York. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”

Earlier this month reports of intercepted Russian conversations revealed that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was the target of an influence campaign in order to exert some control over Trump.

In addition, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was the focus of other talks during intercepted calls wherein Manafort was identified as a possible agent of influence over Trump.
