investigating Trump. I'm sure he'd love to be known as the guy who ended up taking trump down but it would be such a benefit to this country to get this bloated turd out of the white house and hopefully in prison.

rom October 2016 through January 2018, Mr. Cohen used his First Republic account to engage in suspicious financial transactions totaling $4,425,033.46.


Chief among these suspicious financial transactions are approximately $500,000 in
payments received from Mr. Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian Oligarch with an estimated
net worth of nearly $13 Billion. Mr. Vekselberg and his cousin Mr. Andrew Intrater
routed eight payments to Mr. Cohen through a company named Columbus Nova LLC
(“Columbus”) beginning in January 2017 and continuing until at least August 2017.


Columbus Nova is a private equity firm founded in 2000 with over $2 billion in assets. Mr. Intrater is the CEO of Columbus Nova. Columbus Nova is the U.S. investment vehicle for Renova Group, a multi-national company controlled by Mr. Vekselberg. Renova group holds investments in various interests, including mining, oil, and telecommunications.


Mr. Cohen inexplicably accepted these payments while he was the personal attorney to
the President and holding himself out at times as employed by the Trump Organization
(with few other clients). This was occurring at the same time significant questions were
being raised relating to (a) the involvement of Russia and Vladimir Putin in the 2016
Presidential Election and (b) the extent of the relationship between Mr. Putin and Mr. Trump.
