В ThinkProgress сделали видео про российские связи Трампа. Новой информации нет, но развлекательно.

Пришло время навести прожектор на лицо, особо приближенное к Трампу: его зятя Джареда Кушнера. Во-первых, выяснилось, что его показаний ждут в Конгрессе.

"From the beginning of this investigation we have committed to follow the facts wherever they lead us. This announcement serves to demonstrate that commitment. Mr. Kushner will certainly not be the last person the committee calls to give testimony, but we expect him to be able to provide answers to key questions that have arisen in our inquiry. The timing of Mr. Kushner’s testimony is still being determined, but will only come after the committee determines that it has received any documents or information necessary to ensure that the meeting is productive for all sides."

Кушнер стал четвертым лицом из тех, кто обещал дать показания в Конгрессе в рамках расследования российских связей (в дополнение к Полу Манафорту, Картеру Пейджу и Роджеру Стоуну). То, что в этом списке отсутствует Майкл Флинн косвенно подтверждает подозрения о том, что Флинн пошел на сделку с ФБР и дает показания там.



Во-вторых, всплыл еще один российских контакт, с которым, помимо Кисляка, встречался Кушнер: Сергей Горков, глава Внешэкономбанка. Наташа Бертранд в Business Insider добавляет интересные детали:

Kislyak reportedly orchestrated the meeting between Kushner and Vnesheconombank CEO Sergey N. Gorkov, who was appointed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in January 2016 as part of a restructuring of the bank's management team, Bloomberg reported last year.
Gorkov, who graduated from the Federal Security Service (FSB) Academy of Russia in 1994, was the vice-president of Russia's state-controlled Sberbank before joining Vnesheconombank.
Gorkov's former boss at Sberbank was Herman Gref, who recommended Gorkov for the Vnesheconombank position in a meeting with Putin in early 2016. " Gref preferred just to send one of his 'troops' to VEB for a rescue operation," a Russian official told Reuters at the time.
Gref organized a meeting between Trump and 10 of Russia's top businessmen while Trump was in Moscow for the 2013 Miss Universe pageant.
Putin first revamped Vnesheconombank, known as Russia's bank for Development and Foreign Economic Affairs, in 2007. The Russian leader turned it into "a pillar of his Kremlin-driven economy at the height of the oil boom" and took "personal control over key lending decisions," according to Bloomberg, which characterized it as "the bank that financed Vladimir Putin’s grandest ambitions."

То, что ВЭБ активно используется для прикрытия операций российских спецслужб, включая СВР, было известно давно. Но тайное стало явным, когда в январе 2015 в Нью-Йорке был арестован Евгений Буряков. Расследование вел недавно уволенный Трампом легендарный прокурор Прит Бхарара.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: “An unregistered intelligence agent, under cover of being a legitimate banker, gathers intelligence on the streets of New York City, trading coded messages with Russian spies who send the clandestinely collected information back to Moscow. This sounds like a plotline for a Cold War-era movie, but in reality, Evgeny Buryakov pled guilty today to a federal crime for his role in just such a scheme. More than two decades after the end of the Cold War, Russian spies still seek to operate in our midst under the cover of secrecy. But in New York, thanks to the work of the FBI and the prosecutors in my office, attempts to conduct unlawful espionage will not be overlooked. They will be investigated and prosecuted.”

Неизвестно, о чем разговаривали Горков и Кушнер, но до того, как им в этом году помогли китайцы, у Кушнеров были серьезные проблемы с деньгами.



The Manhattan tower co-owned by the family of Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, has been losing money for three years and faces increasing loan fees in 2017, which may explain why the family has been negotiating with Chinese insurance behemoth Anbang on new financing.
The fees, at 666 Fifth Avenue, kicked in last month and escalate with each payment until the loan is repaid, a 2011 refinancing agreement shows. December brings another hurdle: Interest paid on the bulk of about $1.1 billion of loans jumps to 6.35 percent, more than double what it was after the debt was refinanced in 2011.
