A trove of more than 13 million leaked documents was published by news organizations around the world on Sunday, the contents of which implicate top officials and associates of President Donald Trump, as well as foreign politicians, in shady business relationships tied to offshore financial accounts.
In at least two cases, the documents highlight previously undisclosed connections to Russia and Kremlin-linked interests.
The documents, referred to as the “Paradise Papers,” were leaked to the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung—the same publication that obtained the so-called Panama Papers—and shared with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. The ICIJ led a global effort of 96 media organizations aimed at poring through the documents and reporting on their contents.
The documents show that the wealthy individuals Trump brought into his administration have worked to legally store their money in offshore havens where they would be free from taxation in the United States.
