The Paradise Papers: Massive New Leak Links Russia and Trump Cabinet Member Wilbur Ross

Trove of 13.4 million leaked documents exposes U.S. Commerce Secretary Ross' ties to a company partly owned by Putin; Trudeau's top fundraiser also seen to have ties to Russian businesses, Paradise Papers reveal

A trove of 13.4 million leaked documents exposes ties between Russia and a host of western officials, including Donald Trump’s billionaire commerce secretary, Wilbur Ross and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s main fundraiser. The leaked “Paradise Papers," published Sunday, also expose details on the offshore interests of Queen Elizabeth II, some 120 politicians from around the world, and a number of Israeli businesspeople.

The leaked documents reveal the extent to which American politics relies on personal wealth and the financial system outside of the United States. It also sheds light on corporate giants like Apple, Nike and others, who manage to minimize the taxes they pay through increasingly imaginative accounting maneuvers.

The leaked data discloses offshore ties of more than a dozen Trump advisers, cabinet members and major donors.
