revealed Tuesday that Trump International Hotels Management maintained a previously undisclosed bank account in China, which paid more than $180,000 in taxes to the Chinese government between 2013 and 2015.that the account was opened"in order to pay the local taxes," and that,"No deals, transactions or other business activities ever materialized and, since 2015, the office has remained inactive.
Critics are also pointing to the controversial Steele Dossier—the opposition research document on the Trump campaign produced by former British spy Christopher Steele in the run up to the 2016 election— which claimed that Trump and his businesses were involved in corruption in China. Trump has long denied such allegations.
In the dossier, Steele claimed that the campaign was"relatively relaxed" about alleged ties between Trump and Russia,"because it deflected media and the Democrats' attention away from Trump's business dealings in China and other emerging markets. Unlike in Russia, these were substantial and involved the payment of large bribes and kickbacks which, were they to become public, would be potentially very damaging to their campaign.
Steele cited a source"close to Trump and [his former campaign chairman Paul] Manafort" who said that the"Republican campaign team happy to have Russia as media bogeyman to mask more extensive corrupt business ties to China and other emerging countries."
Remember the 'other basis' for the Trump-Russia investigation, other than the Steele Dossier ? The other basis for investigation was presented to FISA FIRST, and they rejected a warrant to the FBI for that 'other basis'.
Claims by, let us guess, more “sources.”
Debunked Russian propaganda Steele dossier? Or?
okie210 When Donnie no longer has the cover of the presidency we’ll see how many of these financial and personal corruption allegations are actually true. I’m betting on a good 85 to 90% true.
