Peter Strzok questions Trump's hidden assets not found in bombshell report -- and if he's compromised

Former FBI agent Peter Strzok sounded the alarm about the recent revelations in the New York Times expose on President Donald Trump’s taxes. According to him, there should be a counterintelligence investigation into Trump’s finances and how they coincide with foreign policies that make no sense for the United States.
Speaking with former FBI deputy Frank Figliuzzi and MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, Strzok called the Times exposé a “roadmap” for the ways in which Trump could be compromised by hostile powers. It could also explain Trump’s issues he has with the intelligence community, who would know about any deals he may have made.
“Part of the concern of any counterintelligence professional is looking for these hidden financial entanglements,” the Trump foe explained. “And watching and having done that over six different administrations, every foreign country is trying to use money to get leverage and influence on any given presidency. What the information in The New York Times reports out of those tax records, the breadth and volume of that monetary back and forth is stunning. It’s simply unprecedented [of] in any president in modern history. so if you look at the ways that can be used to, as leverage over Trump, you have to think of this first and foremost as a national security issue. yes, this is a financial issue, but first and foremost, the ways that it can be used to impact the national security of the United States, by the way, can be used against Trump is unprecedented and is deeply concerning.”
When it comes to links between Trump and Russia and the investigation that Strzok worked on, this seems different than the financial concerns of the Trump Organization.
