On October 30 and November 3, Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev and Donald Trump are rumored to cross paths. The Trump Campaign’s jet and Rybolovlev’s jet land at the same airports in Las Vegas and Charlotte, North Carolina around the same time.
Trump is there to host campaign rallies. Rybolovlev will not say why he’s there.
Who was aboard Dmitry Rybolovlev’s luxurious jet and whether the planes’ near-simultaneous arrival facilitated another previously undisclosed Russian contact with Trump, his family or campaign associates remain unanswered questions.
The White House dismisses the matter as conspiratorial. A spokesman for Rybolovlev declined to say why he was in Charlotte. But their jets shared the tarmac at Charlotte for several hours before Trump left for a 7 p.m. rally near Raleigh on the same day.

Of all of the files on this website, this one might be the most conspiratorial. Keep in mind that Trump made $54 million from Rybolovlev in 2008 and that the president thought the oligarch was a middle man for Vladimir Putin.
Both men claim to have never met each other.
