@yurivanetik VANETIK says he never intended to use FUKS’s $200k to buy tickets from TRUMP’s inaugural committee (which would've been illegal). Some of the $$ was for legal work for a Fuks ally, while some was to arrange tix to unofficial inaugural events, Vanetik says. nytimes.com/2019/06/18/us/…
@yurivanetik PAVEL FUKS wanted to attend the inauguration to reconnect with TRUMP, with whom he had tried to partner on a MOSCOW TOWER ~14 years ago, & to meet investors for current projects, he told me.

@yurivanetik @TheWeekly While PAVEL FUKS did not get access to TRUMP at the inauguration, he & his guest (a Ukrainian parliamentarian previously affiliated with VIKTOR YANUKOVYCH's Russia-aligned party) did attend a party at @TrumpDC sponsored by KEVIN McCARTHY's PAC.
