While this is a question that libtards love to bring up in their incessant attacks on Trump, there is a legitimate concern here.
In the abstract, if Trump has vast holdings in Russia or with Putins supporting oligarchs, he could have undue influence from Putin via threats to confiscate his property or call in loans.
This should be investigated quickly and fairly, but the question as to whether the Democrats would ever cooperate with anything that is not a kangaroo court is troubling and blocks any objective final report by implication.
I have found a number of articles that various journalists have dug into, and I am using mostly anti-Trump sources to get the worst case/spin possible to see if there is any plausible room for doubts about Trump.
So I started with CNN and found this:
These are Donald Trump's ties to Russia - CNNPolitics.com
But he has had dealings in the country. We took a look at a few of them.
These are the top six items that CNN brought forward then goes into trivia about Trumps supporters.
So investing in a foreign country or partnering with its businessmen is proof that you are controlled by that nation, according to the leftist bigots at CNN. A beauty pageant from four years ago is evidence of corruption and being owned? roflmao
Deutsche bank investigated Trump ties to Russia and found nothing prior to giving him more loans.
Deutsche Bank examined Trump's account for Russia links
Bloomberg, anti-Trumper publication, investigated and concluded the following:
Behind Trump’s Russia Romance, There’s a Tower Full of Oligarchs
Oh, no, Trump let some Russians buy units in Trump Tower - he cannot be fit to be President. When I think of Clintons 'charity' I cannot help but to bust out laughing.
USA Today claims that Trumps 'ties to Russia' go back 30 years, lol.
Donald Trump's ties to Russia go back 30 years
ROFLMAO, so being invited to a country constitutes having ties to the libtards.
These people hate Trump so much for derailing Hilary's coronation that they cannot even think rationally.

Deutsche Bank examined Trump's account for Russia links
The internal review found no evidence of any Russia link, but Deutsche Bank is coming under pressure to appoint an external and independent auditor to review its business relationship with President Trump.
Bloomberg, anti-Trumper publication, investigated and concluded the following:
Behind Trump’s Russia Romance, There’s a Tower Full of Oligarchs
The bottom line: Trump was heavily leveraged when he built World Tower in Manhattan, which Russians flocked to.
Oh, no, Trump let some Russians buy units in Trump Tower - he cannot be fit to be President. When I think of Clintons 'charity' I cannot help but to bust out laughing.

Donald Trump's ties to Russia go back 30 years
1987: Trump was invited to Moscow by the Soviet ambassador to the United States to discuss luxury hotel developments. Trump later told Playboy magazine that his plans to build hotels in Moscow failed because the country “was out of control and the leadership knows it.” Four years later, on Christmas Day, the Soviet Union officially dissolved, and Russians who had been allowed to buy state-owned enterprises amassed enormous fortunes.
ROFLMAO, so being invited to a country constitutes having ties to the libtards.
