The top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee is asking the Treasury Department for documents related to a Florida property previously owned by President Trump.
In a letter to Secretary Steven Mnuchin reported by CNN, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) requested any related documents or Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) the Treasury Department may have regarding the property, which Trump sold in 2008 to a Russian named Dmitry Rybolovlev.
“In the context of the President’s then-precarious financial position, I believe that the Palm Beach property sale warrants further scrutiny,” Wyden writes in the letter.
“It is imperative that Congress follow the money and conduct a thorough investigation into any potential money laundering or other illicit financial dealings between the President, his associates, and Russia.”
The letter says Trump in 2004 bought the property for $41.35 million and sold it in 2008 to Dmitry Rybolovlev at the price of $95 million. Rybolovlev reportedly sold the property in parcels.
Rybolovlev, according to CNN, was included the Treasury Department’s list of Russian oligarchs who have close ties to the Kremlin.

Money laundering again. They need to look into the SIL and son’s real estate deals as well. This is probably the hold that the Russians really have over Trump. It’s not some sex romp in a Moscow hotel. It’s much bigger than that. IMO only.
