Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross failed to disclose shared business interests with Russian President Vladimir Putin's family, according to documents obtained by several news organizations.
The documents show that Ross still has interest in Navigator Holdings, which was partially owned by his investment company. Putin's son-in-law, as well as other members of the president's inner circle, control a Russian energy firm that has a relationship with Navigator.
German publication S ddeutsche Zeitung first obtained the leaked documents from a Bermuda law firm, which were shared with NBC News by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
I mean, I could maybe see how so many in Trump's circle had some ties to Russia. What I really can't see is how they all seemed to forget about it when they were supposed to disclose it.
