#TrumpRussia investigation: Mueller looking into Trump's family business

A friend once told me; it's not so much the collusion with Russian hackers that Trump's trying to hide, but more like his shady dealings with Russian Oligarchs. "The only way Trump got to the place he's at, after all those bankruptcies, is by doing illegal transactions" she said, "The Donald has a lot to hide".

Upon hearing today's news about special counsel Mueller's investigation of Trump's family business, I now believe my friend may be right.

Bloomberg has a concise report about what Mueller might be up to at this point in the #TrumpRussia investigation (we don't know for sure though, because Mueller is running a tight ship (or at least a leakFree operation)):

"FBI investigators and others are looking at Russian purchases of apartments in Trump buildings, Trump’s involvement in a controversial SoHo development in New York with Russian associates, the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow and Trump’s sale of a Florida mansion to a Russian oligarch in 2008, the person said."
"The Justice Department’s May 17 order to Mueller instructs him to investigate “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign” as well as “any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation,” suggesting a relatively broad mandate.""
"Agents are interested in dealings with the Bank of Cyprus, where Wilbur Ross served as vice chairman before he became commerce secretary. In addition, they are examining the efforts of Jared Kushner, the President’s son-in-law and senior aide, to secure financing for some of his family’s real-estate properties. The information about the investigation was provided by someone familiar with the developing inquiry but not authorized to speak publicly."
