>Even before news surfaced regarding the Trump affairs and the Mueller investigation, there were people in the U.S. who warned of Vekselberg’s activities. In 2014, shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, an FBI agent in Boston wrote in a local business journal that “the Skolkovo Foundation (headed by Vekselberg) may be a means for the Russian government to access our nation's most sensitive or classified research, development facilities and dual-use technologies.”

>While Vekselberg’s name is hardly known in Israel, in recent months, on the backdrop of his inclusion on the Treasury blacklist and various scandals involving President Donald Trump, he’s received substantial media coverage in the U.S. The New York Times reported that in 2017, during one of his visits to New York, Vekselberg was questioned by investigators working for special counsel Mueller.

>According to other media reports, Vekselberg met at least twice with attorney Michael Cohen, transferring $500,000 through his own companies to Cohen’s shell company, which then allegedly paid hush money to American porn star Stormy Daniels so that she would not reveal her affair with Trump before the election. Vekselberg’s people have denied these allegations. Local sources have also revealed that Columbus Nova signed a $1 million contract with Cohen for counseling services. Officially, Columbus Nova is a U.S. investment company headed by Intrater, but the only investor is Vekselberg’s Renova.

>Now that Vekselberg is on the Treasury's sanctions list, people in the U.S. are wondering just how deep his roots are in the country and whether the government will succeed to freeze all his assets.

"It is entirely possible," a former U.S. State Department official and sanctions expert told the Associated Press in July, "that Vekselberg has a majority stake in businesses that are still functioning in the United States that the government doesn't even know about."
