Trump inaugural committee emails show that in Nov 2016, Foresman, with Burnett’s help, scheduled a meeting with Barrack & Kushner but ultimately met with Flynn. In Dec, Foresman met with Russian banker Gorkov, who met with Kushner the same month.

Foresman, who has ties to Igor Sechin [Putin’s former deputy PM who's now CEO of Russian state oil producer ROSNEFT], garnered Senate Judiciary Cmte's interest in 2017 over his effort “to engage the Trump campaign in discussions re outreach from senior Kremlin officials.”
#Maddow
During his time in Moscow, Robert [Bob] Foresman served on the board of the Russian-American Institute [now known as the Russian-American Christian University], where Betsy DeVos & Erik Prince's step dad, Ren Broekhuizen, is longtime trustee.
#Maddow
Foresman’s contacts with the Trump team attracted scrutiny due to his longtime Kremlin connections, stemming from his friendship with Matthias Warnig [former East German secret police] who's 1 of 6 officials in Putin’s “inner circle” of advisers.
#Maddow
Foresman, whose Trump team contacts are under scrutiny, has for 20 years been friends with ex-Stasi Matthias Warnig, a very close Putin ally since the 80's who's on the board of:
-Bank Rossiya ["Putin's bank"]
-VTB Bank
-Rosneft
-RUSAL [Deripaska]
