request could bring scrutiny from democrats because of the bank s past involvement in russian money laundering schemes. joining ours discussion now are two people who have followed the money of donald trump and both have written books about the business of donald trump. he won a pulitzer prize. he is now a founder of dc.org, and most recently, it s worse than you think: what the trump organization is doing to america. he was unnecessarily sued by trump for writing that book and he is now an executive and analyst of bloomberg. he is being investigated for wire fraud, false statements,
donations into the trump inaugural committee. whether or not the committee had anything to do with some of the illegal donations, we don t know. but illegal donations were made into the sxhoo. when you start to look at those, particularly what happened after election day. he could be in some legal peril for things after he was a political candidate. the things that happened after he was elected, that happened after he was inaugurated, those to me would be things of most concern. so it remains to be seen. we don t know all the investigations that are during. i would say special counsel investigations in new york. adam schiff is talking about another investigation that house democrats want to look into. whether or not trump was involved or the organization was involved in any money laundering schemes. listen to him yesterday on meet the press with chuck todd. concern is that they have a history of laundering russian money. they paid hundreds of millions
if that state controlled russian bank is involved in massive criminal money laundering schemes with the bank that bank rolls you and your business, who is going to know about any of it? just lie. they ll never be able to track this stuff down. well, now today we re learning that they have tracked it down. trump told the new york times months ago it would be a red line for the mueller investigation if they ever got into his business and his business finances. that red line is crossed. we are past it. we are wiley coyote having runoff the edge of the cliff, afraid to look down. or maybe that s the president out there, and i don t know if he s capable of looking down. but this thing has entered a whole new phase. stay with us. the zip code you re born into can determine your future. your school. your job. your dreams.
doing. schiff saying he would like to investigate russian money laundering schemes with the trump organization. take a listen. the republicans would not allow us to investigate when they were running the committee. i don t think congress has looked into this at all is whether the russians have been laundering money through the president s businesses and this is the financial hold that the russians may have. that s one of many probes. the congressman saying they will take place many of these investigation, in order to deliver the truth of the american people. we do need to get an answer. that will be able to tell the american people yes it s true or no it s not. the american people deserve to know that the president has their interest in mind. the hot topic of immigration. also new, is there a deal or is there no deal on keeping asylum
trump tower, i remember my father pointing to him and saying, that guy has $8 billion more than me, because he was in such extreme debt at that point, you know? and kushner is also a king of debt, look at house he owes his company $1.4 billion for purchasing the aptly named 666 fifth avenue. none of this is justhyperbole that he was telling his daughter. the limited disclosures that are available, just under $200 million in debt. which has thrown it s own probes over russian oligarch money laundering schemes. but no one can say truly whether he s running on billions in surplus or billions in debt.
