Trump and the Russian mob

Craig Unger from The New Republic magazine on the ‘Charlie Rose Show’ today.

Craig Unger said in 2002 when Trump had six bankruptcies and went broke in Atlantic City not one American bank would loan Trump a penny.
The Russians came in with one billion dollars and bailed Trump out.

They also formed a real estate partnership with Trump, where Trump put in no money, but Trump got 18% of all profits.
Trump got millions more dollars by Russians buying apartments and offices in Tump buildings.

Trump first became involved with Russian mobsters in 1987:

Trump’s Russian Laundromat
“How to use Trump Tower and other luxury high-rises to clean dirty money, run an international crime syndicate, and propel a failed real estate developer into the White House."
