Summary
This document, stamped with a House Oversight file number, outlines the extensive influence of the Koch Brothers on the 2016 Trump Transition team and cabinet appointments. It details financial connections between Koch-affiliated organizations (like Freedom Partners) and key figures such as Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, Betsy DeVos, and Rex Tillerson. The text explicitly advises buying Russian assets, predicting that sanctions will be lifted due to the new administration's ties to Russia and the oil industry.
