WATCH: Rachel Maddow Connects The Dots Between Trump and Russia
Last night on The Rachel Maddow Show she dedicated the bulk of her show to connect the dots between Donald Trump and Russia.
Maddow pointed out that Trump’s new Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross is the largest shareholder in the Bank of CYPRUS which is funded heavily by Russia.
Maddow also connected Donald Trump to a potential Russian Money laundering scheme that allowed a wealthy Russian oligarch to hide money from his wife in a divorce. Donald Trump benefited to the tune of $40 million for selling him a house in Florida that had sat vacant for over two years.
Maddow also showed us how theTrump White House, in an effort to knock down the daily bad press ended up revealing that Donald Trump had never worked with Paul Manafort prior to Manafort becoming his campaign manager. Manafort, however does have documented ties to Russia and Russian funded allies in eastern Europe.
So it didn’t make much sense for Trump to hire Manafort for his campaign, until you consider the Russian connection.
Maddow interviews David Remnick who is the editor of The New Yorker, to discuss Trump’s connection to Russia and Russia’s “buyers remorse” over Trump winning the election.
