"Trump and the Russian Money Trail": Trump's Ties to Oligarchs Go Back Decades
July 20, 2017 - https://www.democracynow.org/2017/7/20/trump_and_the_russian_money_trail
Guests: Seva Gunitsky, associate professor of political science at the University of Toronto. He is the author of Aftershocks: Great Powers and Domestic Reforms in the Twentieth Century.
President Trump on Wednesday said he never would have nominated Jeff Sessions to be attorney general had he known Sessions was going to recuse himself from a Justice Department investigation into alleged ties between Russia and Trump associates. One Russia expert says the smoking gun indicating a quid pro quo between Russian money and Trump may lie with a little-known case that was abruptly settled involving a holding company linked to the Russian elite. Prevezons lawyer is Natalia Veselnitskayathe same Russian woman who initiated the now-infamous meeting with Donald Trump Jr. last June. We speak with author and Russia expert Seva Gunitsky, associate professor of political science at the University of Toronto.
