With an FBI raid on Donald Trump’s lawyer heating up the Justice Department Russia probe, news also breaks that US investigators are looking into a $150,000 donation from a Ukrainian oligarch.
Funds from Ukrainian oligarch Victor Pinchuk were transferred to the Trump Foundation following a speech to a 2015 conference in Kiev, with payment solicited by Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen — whose offices were raided by the FBI yesterday.
Pinchuk has made a fortune selling steel pipe to the state-owned Russian energy giant Gazprom.
Awkwardly enough, Trump isn’t the only Western politician with possible financial links to Pinchuk, with none other than David Cameron giving a similar speech at the invitation of the billionaire in March last year.
While his office have refused to confirm what fee may have been paid, Call-Me-Dave is reportedly charging up to £120,000 for one-hour speeches on Brexit, which looks to be a major focus of his address in the Ukrainian capital Kiev:
Just as well that Russians had nothing to do with Brexit … errr ….
Michael says:
“Call me Dave” or “Dodgy Dave?

“CaMoron” the traitor who has destroyed the UK. May he rot in hell.

Just a traitorous effort to save a bankrupt party – the Tories. What a bastard?
