Federal prosecutors in New York involved in the criminal investigation into Donald Trump's social media company last year started examining whether it violated money laundering statutes in connection with the acceptance of $8m with suspected Russian ties, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The company – Trump Media, which owns Trump's Truth Social platform – initially came under criminal investigation over its preparations for a potential merger with a blank check company called Digital World (DWAC) that was also the subject of an earlier investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Towards the end of last year, federal prosecutors started examining two loans totaling $8m wired to Trump Media, through the Caribbean, from two obscure entities that both appear to be controlled in part by the relation of an ally of Russian president Vladimir Putin, the sources said.

The expanded nature of the criminal investigation, which has not been previously reported, threatens to delay the completion of the merger between Trump Media and DWAC, which would provide the company and Truth Social with up to $1.3bn in capital, in addition to a stock market listing.

Even if Trump Media and its officers face no criminal exposure for the transactions, the optics of borrowing money from potentially unsavory sources through opaque conduits could cloud Trump's image as he seeks to recapture the White House in 2024.

Hmm, I do believe that because some believe Biden took money from China he is now referred to as ChinaBiden.

Does this mean we should now start using RussiaTrump?

Are you joking? You must have completely forgotten about the 2018 meeting in Helsinki.

I get that a lot of people don't like HRC, and she was a terrible candidate for a lot of reasons, but she was right about everything when it came to that POS Trump.

Hillary wasn't right about anything, nobody trusts her, that's why Trump won in 2016.

So if there is nothing implicating Biden, why are you still calling him ChinaBiden?

Not that it matters because it's not the point, but let's try to remember that she actually won the popular vote rather handily.

The point is that she was right about a great deal. Remember the debate in which she said Putin favored Trump because Putin would rather have a puppet? Well, we've known for quite a while now that not only did Putin help the Trump campaign, but the campaign welcomed that help.

Then there was the "Russia, are you listening?" line and the remark about how he loved Wikileaks.

There was a lot more.

Did Benny tell you this? The Durham investigation resulted in exactly three prosecutions. Two ended in acquittals, and the third involved a guilty plea by an FBI lawyer who long ago admitted to altering a document.

That's it, apart from some opinions on issues that were none of the business of any special counsel. Remember that Durham was appointed by the indelibly corrupt Billy Barr, who also slanted the Mueller report before anyone else had a chance to read it.

Your point doesn't matter because Hillary lost, get over it.

I was replying to the part where you said, "nobody trusts her." When you make a statement as inane as that sometimes I feel compelled to respond. But it does get tedious.
