CNN: Senate Russia investigators ask Treasury criminal division for Trump financial information

“Senate Russia investigators have sent a request to the Treasury Department’s criminal investigation division (..FinCEN is the federal agency that has been investigating allegations of foreign money-laundering through purchases of US real estate…) for any information related to President Donald Trump, his top officials and his campaign aides, the top Democrat (Sen. Mark Warner – D/VA) on the Senate intelligence committee told CNN Tuesday (May 9, 2017).”

“We’ve made a request, to FinCEN in the Treasury Department, to make sure, not just for example vis-a-vis the President, but just overall our effort to try to follow the intel no matter where it leads,” Sen. Mark Warner told CNN. “You get materials that show if there have been, what level of financial ties between, I mean some of the stuff, some of the Trump-related officials, Trump campaign-related officials and other officials and where those dollars flow — not necessarily from Russia.”
