INTELLIGENCE/SENATE/TRUMP PEOPLE: “A former business associate of President Donald Trump who worked as an informant for U.S. government agencies met with representatives of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday [4-4-18], according to three people familiar with the meeting. The sources said committee officials spoke with Felix Sater, a long-time government informant and businessman who once had a business card describing him as a ‘Senior Advisor to Donald Trump,’ according to a copy of the card seen by Reuters. Television crews spotted Sater leaving the Senate panel’s secure Capitol Hill office early Wednesday afternoon. Committee officials had no immediate comment on the substance of the panel’s discussions with Sater. But Ronn Torossian, a New York public relations executive hired by Sater, confirmed that Sater had met with representatives of the panel, and also said that Sater ‘has for years helped the U.S. government on vital issues.'”
