Cohen Received $500K from Russian Oligarch

Michael Avenatti, attorney for Stormy Daniels, on Twitter:

After significant investigation, we have discovered that Mr. Trump’s atty Mr. Cohen received approximately $500,000 in the months after the election from a company controlled by a Russian oligarch with close ties to Mr. Putin. These monies may have reimbursed the $130k payment.

Avenatti also released a “preliminary report” of his findings.

CNN reports special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators have questioned Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg “about hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments” his company’s US affiliate made to Cohen.

The Daily Beast confirmed the report with a source saying, “How the fuck did Avenatti find out?”
