This Bloomberg article, written by Justin Sink, accounts for each of the Trump associates which are now helping to build a case against the President. Interestingly, included among their numbers is Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization. Information from Weisselberg could prove especially threatening to Trump.  He has been the C.F.O of the Trump Organization for years,  has worked with the Trump family in some capacity since 1970, serves as treasurer to President Trump’s personal foundation, and is the only non-family member that serves as a trustee to the trust that owns the Trump Organizations business interests. This is significant, because investigators have been previously unable to access Trump’s financial records. Now they have the next best thing. Weisselberg, with his intimate knowledge of the President’s finances, could provide the information previously sought from the records, such as evidence of Russian dealings or violations of the foreign emoluments clause. Even if this information is not sufficient to build a case, it could very well be sufficient enough to get a subpoena for the President’s records.

Following the Money

“Counterintelligence 101 is following the money, because following money is how you compromise people,” says Sen. Ron Wyden of the Senate Finance Committee and Senate Intelligence Committee. Democrats belonging to congressional committees have grown frustrated with the lack of access to President Trump’s financial records. Though members of the House Intelligence Committee have sought subpoenas for the Deutsche Bank, the major lender to the Trump Organization, they have so far been unsuccessful. The Deutsche bank has declined to give any privileged information without subpoena.

President Trump has drawn a “red line” before his family’s financial records, and many Republican congressmen support him in this decision. However, Democrats believe that said records may contain evidence of Russian collusion. That does seem possible. As Wyden has said: “[follow] the money.”
