A Trump Business Partner Threatens to Reveal a Vast Network of Murky RelationshipsBy David Cay Johnston, DCReport Founder and Editor
Threats by a longtime business partner and senior adviser to Donald Trump to spill the beans about the presidents connections to a Russian oligarch have opened the door into a vast network of murky relationships involving the president, our latest exclusive report shows.
Richard Behar, a veteran investigative reporter and now Forbes magazines contributing editor of investigations, pursued facts in a little-noticed report last month in The Wall Street Journal. The Journal told of a threat by longtime Trump associate Felix Sater, a twice-convicted felon, to expose negative information about Kazakhstan-born oligarch Tevfik Arif and his past relationship with President Trump and the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Arif and others have called the Journal report nothing to our exclusive report except unsubstantiated falsehoods
President Trump claims reports of Russian connections are fake news. But his firing Tuesday of FBI Director James Comey shows otherwise.

....in the past. But lately have worried people like him know more than they can actually prove. I feel we don't have much time to really limit Trump---and to force the hand of the totally indifferent Repugs.

It's unconscionable for the repubs to let this continue.
