More Grifting in the Trump Administration

An investigation by Popular Information reveals that, while serving in this role, Witkoff has maintained an active financial partnership with Len Blavatnik, a billionaire sanctioned by Ukraine over his ties to Russia. Witkoff and Blavatnik are co-developing a massive residential real estate project in New York City. The relationship raises additional questions about the nature of Witkoff’s role.

Scoop: Trump’s special envoy for #Russia Steve #Witkoff has a serious conflict of interest: business dealings with a man sanctioned by #Ukraine for 10 years.

Len #Blavatnik is a longtime business partner of Witkoff’s, and made his money in post-Soviet Russia.

CORRECTION: We previously misinterpreted the SBU's explanation for Ukrainian government sanctions. Sanctions target individuals who "harm the interests of the state," as clarified in an SBU letter. We apologize for the error.
