What the right-wing Star writer selectively seems to forget is that Trump laundered untold millions with overvalued sales of his real estate holdings to anybody that had something to hide.

Or, that Eric Trump said back in the early 2000's that after stiffing so many banks in the US, the Trumps got all they needed from the Russian banks.

Or that Trump's Taj Mahal casino (one of two he bankrupted!) was fined $10,000,000 for money laundering

Or that when Deutsche, Trump's bank in Europe, was found guilty of laundering Russian money. The disgraced head of Deutsche bank was head of the Bank of Cyprus less than six months courtesy of Wilbur Ross, a major shareholder. The nickname of the Bank of Cyprus was "The Bank of Spies" for it's many dubious transactions. Ross was later made Secretary of Commerce in the first Trump administration and was well known for sleeping through cabinet meetings
