Hillary Clinton Campaign Press Release - Hillary for America Statement on Donald Trump's Russian Business Interests
After more news reports of Donald Trump's business dealings in Russia, Hillary for America Deputy Communications Director Christina Reynolds released the following statement:
"Despite his effort to hide his business dealings, we now know that Donald Trump has profited from hundreds of millions of dollars from Russian interests. These alarming financial ties present a possible motive for his otherwise puzzling pro-Putin policies such as his openness to lifting sanctions against Russia that currently inhibit money making opportunities for corporations like the Trump Organization. This is precisely what more than fifty national security experts warned against when they called on Trump to disclose and divest his conflict-laden foreign assets that could endanger America's national security. Unless Donald Trump immediately details all his business connections with Russia and every other foreign nation, we will never know what is driving his decision making: the interests of the American people or his own bottom line."
