Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating a $150,000 donation made by a Ukrainian businessman
to a Donald Trump charity in 2015, despite the fact that the same Ukrainian donated $13
million to the Clinton Foundation.
The donation, from steel magnate Victor Pinchuk, is 86 times less the amount that Hillary Clinton
received when she served as secretary of state.
Dailycaller.com reports: But Special Counsel Robert Mueller is not investigating The Clintons.
Instead, he is conducting a broad investigation of Donald Trump, including the flow of foreign
money into various Trump-controlled entities.
Mueller began investigating the Pinchuk donation after receiving documents in response to a
subpoena issued to the Trump Organization — the real estate company Trump ran before
entering politics.
In September 2015, Trump appeared via video link at a conference Pinchuk hosted in Kiev.
Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, negotiated details of the event with Douglas
Schoen, a former consultant for Bill Clinton, according to The New York Times.
Trump did not initially request payment for the appearance, but Cohen contacted Schoen
at one point to request a $150,000 honorarium, The Times reported.
In a seemingly unrelated matter, the FBI raided Cohen's Manhattan office and residence on
Monday.
The search was reportedly conducted for records related to Cohen's payments to Stormy Daniels,
a porn star claiming to have had an affair with Trump in 2006.
The Victor Pinchuk Foundation issued a statement to The Times, downplaying the donation to
Trump.
The charity reached out to Trump and other world leaders in order to "promote strengthened
and enduring ties between Ukraine and the West," it said.
Contact to Trump was made at a time when "it was by no means assured that Mr. Trump would
be the Republican nominee in 2016," the foundation pointed out.
Pinchuk appears to have had a much closer relationship to The Clintons.
In June 2012, the billionaire attended a dinner at the Clintons' residence.
And through Schoen, Pinchuk lobbied the State Department in 2011 and 2013.
Documents filed with the Justice Department show Schoen and Pinchuk met on several occasions
in 2012 with Melanne Verveer, a close Clinton associate who then served as an ambassador
at large for global women's issues.
Bill Clinton attended Pinchuk's annual Yalta conference, The New York Times reported on
Feb. 13, 2014.
Pinchuk also attended the former president's 65th birthday party in Los Angeles.
The FBI reportedly investigated the Clinton Foundation over its foreign donations.
The status of that investigation is unclear.
