In Dec 2016, REDACTED attended the Oligarch meeting with OFFICIAL-1 REDACTED. The meeting is held in the Kremlin and the attendee list is 50 people
In December 2016, a few weeks after Trump’s surprise election victory, Putin convened what a Russian oligarch described as an “all-hands” meeting with some of his country’s top businessmen. A main topic of discussion: U.S. sanctions against Russia.
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
One of the oligarchs present was Petr Aven, co-founder of Alfa Bank, Aven had recently met with with Putin one on one to discuss the sanctions and what to do about them. Putin said he had been struggling to get messages to Trump’s inner circle,
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
And urged Aven to take steps to protect his bank from additional U.S. penalties
Aven quickly understood that his mission was to contact the Trump transition team, and began an effort to contact Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

politico.com/story/2019/04/…
In other words, after Trump pulled off his surprise victory in an election marred by Russia’s attempts to sow discord and buoy Trump’s candidacy, Putin wanted to cash in.
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
The attempts entailed outreaches “sanctioned at high levels of the Russian government, through business rather than political contacts.” Putin’s chief concern, was getting the incoming Trump adm to roll back the U.S. sanctions hampering the RU economy.
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
Among the oligarchs working to make inroads with Trump was Aven, the co-founder of Alfa Bank; Kirill Dmitriev, the head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund; and Sergey Gorkov, the head of the RU-gov’t owned bank Vnesheconombank, or VEB.

Dmitriev was able to get a Putin-approved U.S.-RU “reconciliation plan” to Kush, who passed it to SOS Rex Tillerson.
And Gorkov scored a meeting with Kushner during the transition period to discuss U.S.-Russia relations, according to Mueller.

And Gorkov scored a meeting with Kushner during the transition period to discuss U.S.-Russia relations, according to Mueller.
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
Aven enlisted an American business associate, Richard Burt, formerly a U.S. ambassador to Germany, to help get through to Kushner.
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
According to Mueller, Aven told Burt that “someone high in the Russian government” had expressed “interest in establishing a communication channel between the Kremlin and the Trump transition team.”
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
Burt apparently found Aven’s request odd, but nonetheless approached Dmitri Simes, head of the Center for the National Interest, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank founded by Richard Nixon, about setting up a meeting.
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
politico.com/story/2019/04/…
But Simes demurred, according to the report, citing the heightened media scrutiny surrounding Russia’s election interference.
Aven then dropped the matter. Putin didn’t.
