Remember that attorney Alex Van Der Zwaan who had worked with Paul Manafort, the president’s former campaign manager and who has recently been indicted by the FBI’s Special Counsel Robert Mueller III, the lead in the Trump-Russia probe. Well it turns out that this young man was also married to the daughter of Russian oligarch German Khan who is a director and co-owner of Alfa Bank and one of three key leaders of its parent company, the sprawling conglomerate Alfa Group. This bank is prominently covered in the Christopher Steele dossier.
I can’t help but wonder if the indictment of Mr. Van Der Zwann has more to do about what he knows about Alfa Bank instead of him being another witness against Paul Manafort and Mr. Manafort’s dealings with the pro-Russia faction in Ukraine.
