Leaked messages show that Russians offered at least three investment deals to Arron Banks
Leaked messages show that Russians offered at least three investment deals to Arron Banks, the biggest donor to the Brexit campaign. A committee of parliament wants to know why.

While Mr. Banks was spending more than eight million British pounds to promote a break with the European Union an outcome the Russians eagerly hoped for his contacts at the Russian Embassy in London were opening the door to at least three potentially lucrative investment opportunities in Russian-owned gold or diamond mines.

In Washington, the investigators for the special prosecutor, Robert S. Mueller III, and Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee have also obtained records of Mr. Bankss communications, including some with Russian diplomats and about Russian business deals.
And they have taken a special interest in close ties Mr. Banks and other Brexit leaders built to the Trump campaign.
On Nov. 12, 2016, Mr. Banks met President-elect Trump in Trump Tower. Upon his return to London, Mr. Banks had another lunch with the Russian ambassador where they discussed the Trump visit.

emphasis mine.
My working theory is that Banks and his laughing hyena friend Farage were carrying messages back and forth between Pootey Poot and Donnie the Terrible, and/or money and lots of it.
