The document discusses a real estate deal involving President Donald Trump and a Russian oligarch. Michael Wolff's book "Siege" details the deal, in which Jeffrey Epstein played a key role by showing Trump a $55 million mansion he planned to buy but instead Trump bought the foreclosed property for about $40 million through an entity called Trump Properties LLC that was entirely financed by Deutsche Bank. Epstein suspected Trump was fronting for the real owners of the mansion, and threatened to expose the deal until he found himself under investigation by Palm Beach police for child crimes.
