“In the context of the President’s then-precarious financial position, I believe that the Palm Beach property sale warrants further scrutiny,” Wyden wrote in the letter.

“It is imperative that Congress follow the money and conduct a thorough investigation into any potential money laundering or other illicit financial dealings between the President, his associates, and Russia,” he wrote.

The letter says Trump in 2004 bought the property for $41.35 million and sold it in 2008 to Rybolovlev for $95 million. Rybolovlev reportedly sold the property in parcels.

Rybolovlev, according to CNN, was included on the Treasury Department's list of Russian oligarchs who have close ties to the Kremlin.
