The full story.
NOTE to SELF: I will never look at any executive or politician the same way ever again. https://www.globalwitness.org/en/campaigns/corruption-and-money-laundering/trumps-luxury-condo-a-congolese-state-affair/

1. Meet the Republic of Congo’s Sassou-Nguesso family – rulers of one of the longest-lasting authoritarian regimes on the planet. In power for much of the past four decades, the Sassou-Nguesso family

3. = own properties worth millions around the world and have been accused of using their positions of power to enrich themselves – an accusation some have also directed at the current first family of the United States of America.

4. Global Witness’ new investigation reveals that the daughter of Congo’s President appears to have helped herself to almost 20 million dollars in public funds and laundered part of the cash through U.S. property –

5. specifically, a luxurious Trump apartment in Manhattan worth more than 7 million dollars. This is yet further evidence that some of the world’s most notorious politicians and business people choose to stash their cash in Trump property.

6. What follows is the story of apartment 32G in Trump International, and how Claudia Sassou-Nguesso, daughter of Congo’s President, used apparently stolen public funds to purchase it in the summer of 2014. The tale involves a notorious Portuguese middleman

7. a world-renowned American law firm, a complex network of secretive companies in multiple jurisdictions, and a now-defunct bank, and raises serious questions about the role Trump Organization played in a suspected money laundering scheme.

This story is the best thing I've read today. Thank GOD we have good investigative journalists working hard for stories like this.

P.S. I love pictures.

8. I'm just inserting another jewel to this story. Stick a fork in Prince and Trump please.

9. Jose Veiga was the front man in the deal to Trump and the apartment for the Congolese President's daughter.

Dear Lord. I'm gonna start laughing so hard I'll probably pee my pants.
Get the Popcorn Kids, this story is good.

10. Crooks are sometimes bright, but they ain't very wise. Even the bank used was a front who funneled to someone else who funneled to another and transferred money to others. Perfect money laundering
@PortlusGlam

11. Oh NO. NO> NO>NO>NO>
The American #2 Law firm involved was K&L Gates, LLP. whose prominent partners included William H. Gates, Sr., the attorney, philanthropist, and father of Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
OH DEAR LORD, pass me my phone NOW

12. What the hell? This would have been when Mikey Cohen was working for Trump..
Oh my, someone needs to call him into an office and NOW

13. Just like they say in this superb piece of good journalism.
Donald Jr. was on the Board and clearly there was no due diligence on this kind of transaction.
That's because Trumps never do - DUE DILIGENCE

But the best part?
They've been subpoena'd to look at all the records! LOL I love subpoena's

Please read this entire story. I'm ordering everyone to do it. The details are wonderful

Going for my glass of wine now and watching another fabulous @maddow
