NYT: Companies directly owned by Trump hold at least $650 million in debt. “...companies he owns have at least $650 million in debt — twice the amount than can be gleaned from public filings he has made as part of his bid for the White House."

NYT: A substantial portion of Trump’s wealth is tied up in three investments that owe an additional $2 billion. “Beyond finding that companies owned by Mr. Trump had debts of at least $650 million, The Times discovered that a substantial portion of his wealth is tied up in three passive partnerships that owe an additional $2 billion to a string of lenders, including those that hold the loan on the Avenue of the Americas building.”

Crain's New York Business: Trump owes over $250 million to Ladder Capital, a shadow bank that specializes in making loans that banks often avoid. “When Donald Trump needs a loan, he usually calls Ladder Capital Finance. Who? Exactly. Ladder Capital, an eight-year-old lender based in Manhattan that specializes in making loans that banks often avoid, has granted $275 million worth of mortgages to Trump in recent years, according to city records. Trump turned to Ladder after major New York banks long ago stopped doing business with him, according to his personal financial statement filed with the Federal Election Commission.”

TRUMP:  I pride myself, including outside of the United States. I’m doing almost 120 deals outside of the—which I hope to be able to stop very soon and let my children handle it—but we’re doing many, many deals outside of the United States.

Politico: “In a recent interview with Las Vegas journalist Jon Ralston, [Phil] Ruffin hinted that Trump is working on a business deal that will free up “quite a bit of money” he could invest in the campaign, though Ruffin wouldn’t divulge specifics.”

NYT: “Tracing the ownership of many of Mr. Trump’s buildings can be a complicated task. Sometimes he owns a building and the land underneath it; sometimes, he holds a partial interest or just the commercial portion of a property. And in some cases, the identities of his business partners are obscured behind limited liability companies — raising the prospect of a president with unknown business ties.”

NYT: “The people behind 40 Wall Street Holdings are harder to identify. For years, Germany’s Hinneberg family, which made its fortune in the shipping industry, controlled the property through a company called 40 Wall Limited Partnership. In late 2014, their interest in the land was transferred to a new company, 40 Wall Street Holdings. The Times was not able to identify the owner or owners of this company, and the Trump Organization declined to comment.”

NYT: “Still, as with all of the properties in which Mr. Trump holds an interest, the value of the buildings as well as the terms and magnitude of their debt could have a major impact on his personal fortune. Mr. Trump, Mr. Weisselberg added, was liable for a “small percentage of the corporate debt” listed on the federal filing but would not elaborate.”

TRUMP: “We have mortgages to different banks, I’ll probably release a list of the banks that we have mortgages to.”

NYT: “An investigation by The New York Times — drawing on decades-old files from the New York City Commission on Human Rights, internal Justice Department records, court documents and interviews with tenants, civil rights activists and prosecutors — uncovered a long history of racial bias at his family’s properties, in New York and beyond.”

Washington Post: Inside Trump’s financial ties to Russia and his unusual flattery of Vladimir Putin. “Since the 1980s, Trump and his family members have made numerous trips to Moscow in search of business opportunities, and they have relied on Russian investors to buy their properties around the world...Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,’ Trump’s son, Donald Jr., told a real estate conference in 2008, according to an account posted on the website of eTurboNews, a trade publication. ‘We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.’”

Politico: When Donald Trump brought Miss Universe to Moscow. “I have always been interested in building in Russia….In 2008, his son Donald Jr. visited Moscow to explore licensing the Trump name to properties there, according to the Russian newspaper Kommersant. The paper also reported that, a few years earlier, Trump had considered aiding the reconstruction of the city’s Moskva and Rossiya hotels.”

Washington Post: Former Mafia-linked figure describes association with Trump.

TRUMP: "If I run, you’ll see what a great job, because I’ll do a full disclosure of finances. … Maybe I’m going to do the tax returns when Obama does his birth certificate… I’d love to give my tax returns"

TRUMP: "You know, if you're running, at a minimum, probably you're going to have to release your returns.”

TRUMP: Said he would “certainly” release his tax returns, saying he had “no objection” to the idea

Washington Post: Donald Trump’s response to his doctor’s shoddy letter? Call for Clinton to disclose more! “The problem with Trump's tweet is that he has already released far fewer of his own medical records. And those he has released were apparently given only five minutes' worth of thought by his doctor. This is a bit like calling on your opponent to release a detailed, five-point plan for dealing with immigration when you haven't even said where you stand on deportation.”

NBC: Trump Doctor Wrote Health Letter in Just 5 Minutes as Limo Waited. “Donald Trump's personal physician said he wrote a letter declaring Trump would be the healthiest president in history in just five minutes while a limo sent by the candidate waited outside his Manhattan office.”

CNN: Clinton's health is fine, but what about Trump? “Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, found much of that language surprising and, in some cases, almost comically lacking in objective data.”

Huffington Post: Someone Using The Email Address Of Trump’s Doctor Demanded Money For An Interview. “A Huffington Post reader pointed out that the letter mentioned a website that wasn’t actually registered until several months after the endorsement of Trump’s health was written, so I sent an email on Saturday afternoon to the Gmail address listed in the letter’s header.  Someone replied from the address a little after 1 a.m. on Sunday, saying he or she wanted money to talk.  ‘325 per hour in advance,’ the person wrote.”

Washington Post: The strange tale of Donald Trump’s doctor letter just got stranger. “Of all the problems with the letter — and there are more than a few — the biggest may be the hyperbole. Doctors are trained to be circumspect and not draw conclusions that aren't supported by facts. Bornstein's letter, quite simply, didn't sound as though it were written by a serious-minded doctor who had given it the kind of thought it warranted.”
