Shady Russian Network Behind Trump Vanity Project Exposed

Donald Trump’s sons are building a skyscraper in the Caucasus with a company co-owned by an oligarch who has shady ties to Russia.

Trump Tower Tbilisi, a 70-story luxury apartment complex planned for the capital of Georgia, a former Soviet republic at the far reaches of Eastern Europe, is the latest jewel in the first family’s $2.7 billion property empire. Eric Trump, 42, posted an AI rendering on X in May, gushing that it “marks our first project in the region” and that “we are so excited to bring it to life!”

President Trump, 80, has for years waved off scrutiny of his Russia ties as a Democratic hoax. Vladimir Putin meddled in the 2016 election to help him win, and the Trump Organization chased a Trump Tower Moscow deal deep into that campaign. The FBI later pored over the post-Soviet money men behind Trump SoHo—a Manhattan condo-hotel built with the Sapir Organization, now the Trumps’ American partner on the Tbilisi development project.
