This is just being reported on the Rachel Maddow show. A Russian Oligarch, known as the King of Fertilizer (KoF), settled a divorce claim for close to $5 billion. To hide his assets from his wife, KoF bought multiple real estate properties throughout the world. One of which he bought for 100 million dollars (corrected thanks to two alert readers). Donald Trump had purchased this place in an auction for $40 million dollars two years earlier.
Both Trump and KoF claim they never met or interacted with each other. The intermediary was one Wilbur Ross.
Wilbur Ross is now our Secretary of Commerce (thanks to an alert reader for pointing out an error on my part). A reward for helping KoF and Trump? No. Just a coincindence.
