Paradise Papers: Leaks Show Wilbur Ross Hid Ties to Putin Cronies

Wilbur Ross, the commerce secretary in the Trump administration, shares business interests with Vladimir Putin’s immediate family, and he failed to clearly disclose those interests when he was being confirmed for his cabinet position.

Ross — a billionaire industrialist — retains an interest in a shipping company, Navigator Holdings, that was partially owned by his former investment company. One of Navigator’s most important business relationships is with a Russian energy firm controlled, in turn, by Putin’s son-in-law and other members of the Russian president’s inner circle.

Some of the details of Ross’s continuing financial holdings — much of which were not disclosed during his confirmation process — are revealed in a trove of more than 7 million internal documents of Appleby, a Bermuda-based law firm, that was leaked to the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung. The documents consist of emails, presentations and other electronic data. These were then shared with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists — a global network that won the Pulitzer Prize this year for its work on the Panama Papers — and its international media partners. NBC News was given access to some of the leaked documents, which the ICIJ calls the “Paradise Papers.”

Given his track record, I expect President Pussy Grabber to proffer the following excuse:

"Commerce secretary? I barely know the guy. Investigate Hillary!"

Yeah, so why didn’t the guy declare it? Why is everyone hiding their Russian affairs. Just seems really stupid doesn’t it. Remember, it isn’t the crime, it’s the coverup that sank Nixon.

no idea..I doubt it's "hiding" -a lot of these financial disclosures are pretty complex ( rich peeps problems).

But really aside from a disclosure violation -this has so little to do with "da Russians" it's pathetic to see the over-reaching.
If you do business in Russia chances are good you are going to deal with oligarchs,or a Putin holding.
If the US wasn't infected with Russia-phobia, none of us would even care

that's obvious enough *duh*

what is important is how does the "corruption" affect governing?
Do you think 2nd hand holdings in a company that is also invested by Putin's son- in- law
is a corrupting influence? (no)

I sure did and would, again, if she is running against Trump. If charges are brought against her or her campaign I will apologize for my vote.

Will you do the same for your Trump vote?

This has nothing to do with anything done in the 90's, its corruption that has been ongoing since trump began seeking the Presidency. With that said, I am sure the prosecutor will be turning up other crimes well before then.
