EXCLUSIVE: Federal Marshals Execute Seizure Warrants At Trump Tower
Sources with links to the intelligence community report that Federal Marshals executed two search and seizure warrants at Trump Tower on Friday, May 19.
One of the warrants covered an electronic storage space in Trump Tower. Several electronic items were seized as a result of this search.
Another of the warrants, sources report, was served on Paul Manafort?s apartment in Trump Tower.
The Trump sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., were interviewed by the FBI, sources say, the day before James Comey was fired. This is because, sources linked to the intelligence and law enforcement communities say, they are suspected of being complicit in the Kelhios botnet?s repurposing to service and pay both pro-Russia and pro-Trump Twitter and facebook bots, but also to deliver ?fake news?, loaded with malware, and to pay those spreading it through bitcoin transactions.
The servers and data in Trump Tower, and the items taken from Manafort?s apartment, may form part of the ?secure communications channel? that Kushner wanted to establish with Russia. I broke on November 7th that a FISA warrant had been secured on any US person? in relation to two Russian banks, Alfa Bank ? with whom the server was communicating ? and SVB Bank. SVB Bank, which had a deal with Sberbank, is implicated in the meeting Kushner had with Gorkov. Further to that, Avi Berkowitz, who was on the Trump Data team, working with Boris Epshteyn and Brad Parscale, formed a go-between for Kushner and the Russian Ambassador.
My earlier exclusive report stated that the Kelhios botnet for which the Russian hacker Pyotr Levashov was indicted, was run out of Trump Tower with a ?command and control server.?
