Some key points the article details:
* The President has substantial, active business interests in Turkey that Recep Erdogan has demonstrated he can damage and thus use to extort Trump.
* Trump repeatedly has sided with Turkey against unanimous objections of his national security team, which in the most horrendous example, led to the death of hundreds if not thousands of Kurdish women and children.
* The Turkish representative for this relationship, whose finances are deeply entangled with Trump's, has repeatedly bragged about his ability to influence American policy.
* Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, is a key White House contact on Turkey policy and has his own conflicts of interest because of personal real estate developments.
* There seems to be such little oversight of the U.S.-Turkey relationship that there is no record of what was said in most of the Trump calls or meetings with Turkish officials. Even Trump’s own national security advisor believe corrupt personal dealings are at play.
Hopefully this article will wake up a few people in Washington and get some action started to stop this sprawling criminality.
