Танцы фраера

Rolling Stone публикует главу из новой книги Trump / Russia: A Definitive History, которая выходит в мае. В главе идёт речь о Майкле Коэне, адвоката и сподручномТрампа, к которому в понедельник нагрянули с обыском сотрудники ФБР.

Интересные детали:



1. Своей карьерой Коэн обязан удачной женитьбе. К Трампу его привёл его тесть Фима Шустерман.

I spoke to two former federal investigators who told me Cohen was introduced to Donald Trump by his father-in-law, Fima Shusterman, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Ukraine who arrived in the U.S. in 1975. Shusterman was in the garment business and owned a fleet of taxicabs with his partners, Shalva Botier and Edward Zubok – all three men were convicted of a money-laundering related offense in 1993. "Fima may have been a (possibly silent) business partner with Trump, perhaps even used as a conduit for Russian investors in Trump properties and other ventures," a former federal investigator told me. "Cohen, who married into the family, was given the job with the Trump Org as a favor to Shusterman."
