While I don't know if this is actually for Trump's own records, I did find some interesting connections related to Aon, the insurance broker.

Also, the article states:

"Aon received a subpoena....a sign of a state investigation into Trump's business ties"

Seems unconfirmed.

I know this is Wikipedia, but here's Aon's profile:

Aon is "a British global professional services company headquartered in London"

(There's London / the UK again)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aon_(comp…

It appears that they USED to be headquartered in Chicago (there's Chicago again), but moved their headquarters to London in 2012.

Just to be clear, I'm just dumping some things in this thread that I found that could be useful later. I'm not implying anything at this point.

It turns out that Aon also had offices in New York in the World Trade Towers and lost their office in the attack on 9/11. Most of their employees were able to get out, but 176 of them, unfortunately, did not make it.

In 2011, Aon was fined $1.76 million by the DOJ over violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). They were supposed to use funds for training Costa Rica's INS, but used much of it for other purposes. They also had to agree to tighten compliance controls.

Here's the DOJ announcement for this from 2011:

Near the end of the "History" section is this little blurb.

In Sept 2017, Aon announced they wanted to buy Colony NorthStar.

Colony NorthStar is run by...... Tom Barrack.

(There is Tom Barrack again)

Barrack was also previously questioned by the Special Counsel.

Here's the Wikpedia for Colony NorthStar

It looks like Colony DID sell its Townsend Group unit to Aon for $475 million.

Back to Aon. This report from December 10, 2018 said that the SEC was investigating marketing and custodial fees of Aon Hewitt, one of Aon's subsidiaries.

The article stated the investigation surfaced after the SEC issued a risk alert in Sept 2017 "of the most frequent compliance issues related to its advertising rule Rule 206(4).:

It looks like this is that SEC risk alert 👇

From my understanding, it appears that SEC might be investigating if they mislead people with their marketing materials.

🤔 I wonder if there is some angle here with Alfa bank and the Trump Server. Remember how Alfa was supposedly pinging a Trump server & it was a marketing co?

O M G

Well, well, lookie here 👇👇👇

A lawyer for Alfa Bank had written a letter to Grassley and Feinstein on July 21, 2017 stating they had an independent investigation done into the pinging server by Stroz Friedberg.

Attachments at the end of the letter are from Stroz Friedberg.

Stroz Friedberg is.......... "An Aon company" 🧐

Dammit, I just noticed I had accidentally provided the wrong link to the Alfa letter to Grassley above.

Here is the correct link to that letter where the Stroz Friedberg documents can be found.

So, it *could* be possible that this alleged "Trump investigation" relates back to the pinging of the Trump servers and who did it. I wonder if Deripaska was involved.
