"It is unclear whether federal prosecutors are aware that Trump Media was propped up by Postolnikov via ES Family Trust. At the same time, the money-laundering investigation surrounding the Trump Media merger and the scrutiny on Postolnikov appears to have ballooned in recent months.

The investigation into potential money laundering appears to have started after Wilkerson’s lawyers Phil Brewster, Stephen Bell and Patrick Mincey alerted the US attorney’s office in the southern district of New York to the ES Family Trust loans in October 2022.

Months later, in June 2023, the FBI expanded its investigation to work jointly with the Department of Homeland Security’s El Dorado taskforce, which specializes in money laundering, and its Illicit Proceeds and Foreign Corruption group, which targets corrupt foreign officials who use US entities to launder illicit funds."

If the Feds are investigating this and it has anything remotely to do with Trump it will get shut down so as to not appear to be partisan.

I only saw this story reported on "Raw Story" and "The Guardian" I guarantee that this will get swept under the rug seeing as Trump needs money from somewhere. Business as usual for Trump.

No one on DU even wants to hit on this so why bother talking about it? Just let Trump do whatever.

Meanwhile James Comer is still going after Hunter and Joe Biden and that will make the news today.
