Fake news, tweets Trump: \u201cI have nothing to do with Russia \u2013 no deals, no loans, no nothing!\u201d Trump swears he has no ties with the Russians. But is that actually the case?<\/p>\n<p>In the second part of our programme about Donald Trump\u2019s controversial friends, we will set our sights on the Israeli billionaire Lev Leviev, who is controversial because he is suspected of trading in blood diamonds. He is one of the world\u2019s biggest diamond traders and owns prestigious stores in New York and Moscow, but he is also the owner of Siebel, the Netherlands\u2019 biggest jewellery chain. Leviev has ties with Russian president Putin, US president Trump and his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner. Trump, however, claims he hardly knows this \u201cKing of Diamonds\u201d .
