January 17: Robert Mueller Investigates Millions in Payments Made to Russian Officials
The FBI is investigating millions of dollars in payments between Russian officials living in the United States. Documents obtained by Buzzfeed reveal flagged financial transactions involving the Russian embassy in Washington, D.C., former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and several Moscow businessmen linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
While some of the transactions date back a decade, others occurred immediately following President Donald Trump’s election—money transfers made in November 2016 and January 2017 are reportedly being investigated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

January 25: Dear Mr. Foresman: As a long-time investment banker in Russia, you have developed relationships with senior Kremlin officials and have expressed your passion for private diplomacy to help foster improved U.S.-Russia relations. The Committee has reason to believe that you sought to engage the Trump campaign in discussions concerning outreach from senior Kremlin officials. Given these ties, we believe that you may have information that would assist the Committee in its investigation related to Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Accordingly we are writing to request documents and schedule an interview with you in February 2018. [from Diane Feinstein, U. S. Senate]

January 22: US banker with ties to Putin’s inner circle sought access to Trump transition
Nine days after Donald Trump won the presidency, as scores of supporters clamored for meetings with his transition team, the Hollywood producer of The Apprentice, Mark Burnett, reached out to one of Trump’s closest advisers to see if he would sit down with a banker who has long held ties to Russia.
The banker, Robert Foresman, never got the role he was seeking with the fledgling Trump administration. But he has recently attracted the attention of congressional investigators as one more name on an expanding list of Americans with established ties inside the Kremlin who appears to have been seeking access to the newly elected president’s inner circle, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

January 22: ABC News reported that congressional investigators are looking into Robert Foresman, now deputy chairman of UBS Investment Bank.
With [Robert] Burnett’s help, Foresman “found his way onto the daily calendar of Thomas Barrack,” who at the time was chairing what would become Trump’s inaugural fund, ABC News reported, citing internal emails. Burnett is the guy who was brought in to oversee entertainment for the inauguration festivities.
Foresman had lived for years in Moscow, where he led a $3 billion Russian investment fund; he had been touted as someone who maintains connections to Putin’s inner circle, the news division reported.
Foresman wound up not meeting Barrack, nor did he get the role he sought with the fledgling Trump administration, ABC News reported. All parties involved, including Burnett, declined comment to the news org.
Burnett, meanwhile, has not shied away from talking about his flights into Putin’s orbit.
