The hard-charging New York lawyer President Trump chose to represent him in the Russia investigation has prominent clients with ties to the Kremlin, a striking pick for a president trying to escape the persistent cloud that has trailed his administration.

Marc E. Kasowitz’s clients include Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch who is close to President Vladimir Putin and has done business with Trump’s former campaign manager. Kasowitz also represents Sberbank, Russia’s largest state-owned bank, U.S. court records show.

Kasowitz has represented one of Deripaska’s companies for years in a civil lawsuit in New York and was scheduled to argue on the company’s behalf May 25, two days after news broke that Trump had hired him, court records show. A different lawyer in Kasowitz’s firm showed up in court instead, avoiding a scenario that would have highlighted Kasowitz’s extensive work for high-profile Russian clients.


Is there anyone in the Trump Admin without ties to Russia? The optics, as usual, are craptastic.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Joe McCarthy's grandchildren are saying "Damn, Granddad was born 60 years too soon."

Literally, the assholes who in 2012 were sneering "The 80's want their foreign policy back" are finding a Russian behind every tree.

truly scorn worthy

but fun to mock!

I would bet most influential and rich people have Russian ties, does Trump's people have a larger percent of ties, than say Clinton?

I would imagine being a successful and powerful person with unlimited funds, it would be hard not to have some kind of ties to other powerful people in the world.

I have "ties" to Russia and numerous other countries and I'm an average Joe. Unless you have ties and undeniable proof that corruption is involved....frick off!

how many major NYC business firms have no ties to Russia?

i'd imagine it may be higher than 0, but it's unlikely
