The Senate Intelligence Committee
has requested information about President Donald Trump and his top
aides from a financial intelligence unit in the Treasury Department that
imposed a $10 million civil penalty on Trump Taj Mahal in 2015 for
multiple violations of anti-money laundering laws.
The committee wants to see any information
relevant to its Russia investigation the Treasury agency has gathered,
including evidence that might include possible money laundering,
according to a committee aide who spoke on condition of anonymity. Also
at issue: to what extent, if at all, people close to Vladimir Putin have
invested in Trump's real estate empire.
The request, made in recent weeks, comes as part of the Senate's
investigation into whether Trump associates colluded with the Russian
effort to interfere in the election. The FBI is also investigating that
issue, but that probe is now under a cloud after Trump fired FBI director James Comey.
