Hillary Clinton personally approved leaking to the media information alleging a connection between Donald Trump and a Russian bank in 2016, which the campaign itself had not fully confirmed, according to testimony Friday by Clinton’s campaign manager.

Robby Mook, Clinton’s campaign chief, said in federal court that as the campaign against Trump heated up in the late summer and early fall of 2016, Marc Elias, who was then a lawyer with the Perkins Coie law firm and served as the campaign’s top legal adviser, told Mook that “people with expertise” in cyberactivity had briefed the campaign on data alleging links between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, a Russian financial institution with ties to the Kremlin.

I know for a fact that Hillary didn't approve of this post...
After Geoffrey Berman was ousted as US attorney, President Donald nominated Jay Clayton for SDNY US Attorney, who was previously installed by Donald to head the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
.
Clayton, who Donald likes to “oversee” (not) prosecution of the major banks, has previously represented 8 of the 10 largest Wall Street banks when he was an attorney, partner at the Sullivan & Cromwell law firm...
Jay Clayton has worked for UBS and the Deutsche Bank that was recently fined $150 million (after charges brought by Berman’s office) over amongst others its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
He also represented the film studio of Harvey Weinstein.

Clayton represented Goldman Sachs in perhaps its most important deal, the $5 billion investment by Warren E. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway during the 2008 financial crisis. His wife, Gretchen, has worked at Goldman Sachs...
In the last year, Jay Clayton earned some $7.6 million from Sullivan & Cromwell. He has investments in Apollo Global Management, Bain Capital (founded by Mitt Romney), J.C. Flowers and Perry Partners.

Jay Clayton has also represented TeliaSonera that has business ties to Russia and Iran.
The deals Clayton was involved in, included its stake in Russian mobile phone operator MegaFon, with the Russian Altimo that has long been controlled by the notorious Russian billionaire, Chabad-Lubavitcher Mikhail Fridman, who is best known for controlling the Alfa Group (including the Alfa Bank that communicated with the Trump Organization and the Spectrum Health of the DeVos family during the 2016 election campaign): http://archive.is/VVahu


Clayton is by no means the only lawyer Trump has nominated, appointed with ties to the Alfa Group...
See Rudy Giuliani with the heads of Alfa Bank; Mikhail Fridman (left) and Pyotr Aven in Moscow at Alfa’s “Award for Excellence in Foreign Investment in Russia”.

Jay Clayton has also arranged Initial Public Offerings for a number of companies, including the $1.2 billion Och-Ziff Capital Management IPO (of Dan Gertler, the Chabad-Lubavitcher plundering the Congo).

During the financial crisis of 2007–2008, Clayton advised Bear Stearns in its fire sale to JPMorgan Chase in 2007
