Oleg Deripaska—Manafort’s longtime “client”—gets a SWEETHEART deal from the Trump🇷🇺administration allowing him to CHEAT #sanctions by letting he & his allies retain majority ownership, plus settle HUGE debts with sanctioned #Russian🇷🇺bank, VTB.
nytimes.com/2019/01/21/us/…
His foundation + Deripaska + his ex-wife + her father will own 57% of EN+ under the deal.🙄
It's 22.5% owned by a firm tied to:
—Viktor Vekselberg: #Russian🇷🇺oligarch who attended TRUMP inauguration & drew MUELLER interest.
—Len Blavatnik: 🇺🇦-born US/UK citizen who gave $1M to inaugural.
