NEW: A direct line of communication between the Kremlin-connected Agalarov family and the Trump family was open during the transition after the election, BuzzFeed News has learned buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/t…
The “first of a series” of text messages was sent between Emin Agalarov and Donald Trump Jr. two days after the 2016 election, a source familiar with the communications said buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/t…
The Agalarovs and Trumps have a relationship dating back to 2013, when Trump and the Agalarovs hosted the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow.

Aras Agalarov has ties to Putin and Putin presented him with the Order of Honor in 2013.
While it has been known that the Agalarovs posted supportive messages on social media surrounding Trump’s election and inauguration, it had not been known before Friday that they were directly communicating during that time as well buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/t…
