More bits of news re: Cohen’s LLC coming from Committee to Investigate Russia - also an aggregator of what’s going on w/ these moment-to-moment revelations.
Like money going directly to the RNC, which has been reported and gets to reflect on all levels of RNC even the top tier Republicans may have known that money was coming from Russia (rumors about Ryan, McConnell swirl) And that CREW (Former GW Bush lawyer, Richard Painter and Harvard Law professor Lawrence Tribe’s entity) are making an inquiry as what Trump’s role may have been vis-a-vis Cohen’s alleged pay-for-play money grab.
We can already hear the denials coming.
Take a look here…Cohen's LLC: The Latest | Committee to Investigate Russia
A couple of excerpts
NBC News:
A review of public election filings shows that the CEO of Columbus Nova, Andrew Intrater, made several political donations over the past two years.
According to public record filings he donated $29,600 to the Republican National Committee in June 2017, $35,000 to the Trump Victory PAC the same month, and then $250,000 to the Trump Inauguration Fund.
And coming from CNN (linked within the body of the first link)
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a government watchdog, sent a letter to the Office of Government Ethics in March asking for an inquiry into whether President Trump had an interest in Cohen’s company:
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (“CREW”) respectfully requests that the Office of Government Ethics (“OGE”) exercise its oversight responsibilities to determine whether President Donald J. Trump held a beneficial interest in a limited liability company (“LLC”) that was used by his personal lawyer to make a surreptitious payment to a third party in the weeks before the 2016 presidential election. If he did, the LLC should have been reported as an “interest in property” on the public financial disclosure report (“OGE 278”) President Trump filed with OGE in June 2017.
