Russia, no loans, no nothing. there we go. joining me cnbc contributor n inson na with megan murphy and jason. the president gave a lot of attention to the fact that he found a know tarry and the letter was certified and a highly regarded law firm, but little detail. he said he has no investments in russia but as far as russia being a lender to him, how much do we really know about that? well, very little. if you read through the financial disclosure documents with the fec that were filed as late as july of 2016, there are 550 plus limited liability companies that the president listed as being under his ownership. it doesn t say where the revenue comes from. it doesn t say how money is allocated and it doesn t say whether there are loans or other obligations by name. it broadly describes his financial situation. but there s no really granular level of detail about who s involved with which entipty. ....
