The Dutch found Trump's Russian money trail before Mueller did. Buckle up.
For months, the FBI have been investigating Russian interference in the American presidential elections. ZEMBLA is investigating another explosive dossier concerning Trump’s involvement with the Russians: Trump’s business and personal ties to oligarchs from the former Soviet Union. Powerful billionaires suspected of money laundering and fraud, and of having contacts in Moscow and with the mafia. What do these relationships say about Trump and why does he deny them? How compromising are these dubious business relationships for the 45th president of the United States? And are there connections with the Netherlands? ZEMBLA meets with one of Trump’s controversial cronies and speaks with a former CIA agent, fraud investigators, attorneys, and an American senator among others.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
ZEMBLA is the Netherlands' longest-running investigative documentary series—think 60 Minutes but with less corporate fluff and more actual consequences for the powerful.
This aired in February 2017, literally weeks into Trump's presidency, making it almost prophetically early in documenting patterns the US press would spend years catching up to.
