Michael Popok, of MeidasTouch News, just reported on him.
He has always been a shady character operating in the shadows. He was born in Russia but has been with Trump since his very first campaign. Popok said he had taken the position that Michael Cohen once had, sort of a consigliere to Donald Trump.
Popok said he was the person pulling the strings on all of Trump's legal matters, including those of Todd Blanche and his DC lawyers. He has been sort of invisible in the press.
But, I have always suspected that he was working for Vladimir Putin. He got into the Trump circle thru a friendship with Eric Trump, Popok reported.
His name was just a reminder of the "Russia, Russia, Russia" connection that has shadowed Trump since 2016.
Interesting that his name has re-appeared, in my opinion.

(114,800 posts)I'm guessing he's wisely retreated to the fringes of the Fatso inner circle.
He looks good on paper (Georgetwon Law School) but he's never met a bunch of wingnuts he hasn't chosen to love, including Sinclair. He's bounced around to a lot of financial jobs but doesn't seem to have the bank account to show for it, so if he's your garden variety opportunist with no ethics, he's not very good at it.
He's your basic far right lunatic loyalist. It's just too bad he's been allowed to skate away from everything from bar fights to collecting stacks of faked elector votes.
