Another seems to open. Enter, the New York Times Front Page Story of a secret plan by Trump Associates said to be backed by kremlin about the Armed Conflict with Russian Allied forces within its own borders. In other words, while the fbis investigating an alleged back channel during the election between russia and the Trump Campaign, there may be another previously undisclosed back channel between russia and known Trump Associates. But before we dive into the times report, a little context. Throughout the entire russia controversy, the president has repeatedly denied having any russian Business Ties. I own nothing in russia. I have no loans in russia. I dont have any deals in russia. Russia is fake news. Russia is fake news. But thats a relatively recent claim. In 2008, for instance, donald trump jr.
