Felix never goes away. “The effort was led in large part by Felix Sater, a convicted felon and longtime business associate with deep ties to Russia.” nytimes.com/2018/11/29/us/…
President Trump has tried for years to say he doesn’t really know who Felix Sater is or what he’s done with the Trump Organization. But that’s not true, and he’s well aware that Felix is a career criminal with organized crime ties: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
Michael Cohen’s guilty plea and the information Mueller’s office released today about the efforts to get a project launched in Moscow are just another chapter in the Trump-Cohen-Sater saga. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Very little of what President Trump is laying out here is true. He operated the Trump Foundation like a grift for three decades and that's why it was dissolved. And there's still a NYS AG lawsuit pending that will adjudicate all of this. The fact pattern: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
The president housed the Trump Foundation in Trump Tower. It had no dedicated office space or staff. It was a mailing address. So of course he took "NO fees, rent, salaries, etc." There were no salaries or rent to pay. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
But no need to believe me. Read @Fahrenthold on the topic: pulitzer.org/winners/david-…

Mueller and the SDNY gave us a raft of paperwork this evening laying out why President Trump is back on his heels — and why he still has reason to fear Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort. (h/t @mikenizza!) My column tonight: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
“If the project was completed, the Company could have received hundreds of millions of dollars from Russian sources in licensing fees and other revenues,” prosecutors said.
“Mueller's team and federal prosecutors offered a few reasons, perhaps, for why Trump went on the Twitter warpath Friday morning – including their belief that Trump himself is a primary architect of some of the troubling events they have been examining.” bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

In which ⁦@Fahrenthold⁩ and ⁦@OConnellPostbiz⁩ revisit a central question about the president’s finances: Where did the Trumps get the money for their mid-2000s shopping and development spree? No, not Fred. washingtonpost.com/politics/after…
1/4: The Washington Post story about the sources for Trump's mid-2000s offer a reminder that the president's intersection with Bayrock on the Trump Soho and Felix Sater is still an interesting transaction: bloomberg.com/view/articles/…
2/4: On the Trump SoHo deal, there were interesting and murky $$ flows into the project from Eastern Europe and Iceland: bloomberg.com/view/articles/…

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
