http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/03/connections-trump-putin-russia-ties-chart-flynn-page-manafort-sessions-214868What is the real story of Donald Trump and Russia? The answer is still unclear, and Democrats in Congress want to get to the bottom of it with an investigation. But theres no doubt that a spider web of connectionssome public, some private, some clear, some murkyexists between Trump, his associates and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
These charts illustrate dozens of those links, including meetings between Russian officials and members of Trumps campaign and administration; his daughters ties to Putins friends; Trumps 2013 visit to Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant; and his short-lived mixed martial arts venture with one of Putins favorite athletes. The solid lines mark established facts, while dotted ones represent speculative or unproven connections.
Theres nothing inherently damning about most of the ties illustrated below. But they do reveal the vast and mysteriously complex web behind a story that has vexed Trumps young presidency from its startand is certain to shake the White House for months to come.
