Senate Intel Committee Just Asked Treasury For Trump And Associates’ Financial Info
Follow the money…
The Senate Intelligence Committee sent a request to the Treasury Department’s criminal investigation division for information related to Donald Trump, members of his administration and his campaign aides, according to a new report.
The bombshell report which was first reported by CNN quoted Senator Mark Warner saying “We’ve made a request, to FinCEN in the Treasury Department, to make sure, not just for example vis-a-vis the President, but just overall our effort to try to follow the intel no matter where it leads.”
“You get materials that show if there have been, what level of financial ties between, I mean some of the stuff, some of the Trump-related officials, Trump campaign-related officials and other officials and where those dollars flow — not necessarily from Russia.”
Notably, the Treasury’s FinCEN department is the federal agency that investigates allegations of foreign money-laundering through purchases of US real estate.
The request from the Senate Intel Committee is part of their broader investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election and collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian agents.
According to CNN, “Warner added that until the Treasury Department responds with documents, that he will withhold his support for Trump’s nominee to oversee terrorism and financial at the Treasury Department, Sigal Mandelker.”
