![]() Trump’s actual tax returns weren’t released, so the information could not be confirmed. In response, lawyers for Trump released a letter to the Associated Press on Friday, saying they had reviewed ten years of Trump’s taxes and didn’t find “any income of any type from Russian sources,” except for a property sold to a Russian billionaire and proceeds from the 2013 Miss Universe pageant, held in Moscow. Senator Lindsey Graham, whose committee is heading one of the investigations, raised the question at a hearing on Monday, and apparently asked the White House for information about ties between the President and Russia. Trump’s businesses-maybe because of his fondness for shiny deals-have been the subject of investigations over the years but have not been discussed much in the context of the Trump campaign’s relationship to Russia. He likes quick, tangible results-“something shiny,” the associate told me. This is a character analysis I’ve heard from several people who have worked with Trump, one that seems confirmed daily by the President’s statements and tweets: the man doesn’t go in for complex, long-term plans. “He couldn’t sit through the meeting,” the associate said. He laughed and said that there is no way Trump could have been part of such a conspiracy. I spoke recently to a longtime business associate of Donald Trump, and asked his thoughts about the various investigations into collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
