Inflows of money from Russian mobsters and other criminal elements are likely to be chief among Trumps concerns, biographer David Cay Johnston told CNNs John Berman on Wednesday night.
Donald has long done business with these people and allowed them to purchase apartments from him through anonymous wealth corporations, Johnston said.
The biographer provided an example: If you had a desire to buy a Trump Tower apartment in the name of Snow, Inc., Donald didnt ask, gee, is that a ski lodge in Colorado or a cocaine trafficking business? He just said, pay up and Ill be glad to sell you the apartment.

might have opened the spigot to dirty Russian money pouring into the NRA.
BTW Trump and connections to organized crime go back 50 years. Don's "formative
education" was from mafia lawyer Roy Cohen.
