Trump and Putin money laundering accusation

On Morning Joe today, Donnie Deutsch said Trumps loyalty to Putin stems from his days of losing casino money and going into bankruptcy. He said that Putin financially bailed Trump out when no American banks would and that this led to money laundering.
Joe said this idea has been speculation among many New York bankers for years.

Most won’t deal with the Russians at all. A lot of fear.
