Donald Trump, president. Trump's connections to Russian business interests are murky, thanks to his decision not to release his tax returns during the campaign. We know that the Miss Universe pageant was hosted in Moscow when Trump owned it and that he earned millions of dollars for doing so. We know, too, that he's repeatedly explored real estate deals in the country. It's not clear whether Trump has met Kislyak, though the ambassador attended a foreign policy speech Trump gave last spring and the reception that preceded it. We know now that Trump has been in communication with Putin - but he also claimed to have been in contact with representatives of the Russian president (and Putin himself) before the campaign.
