What started the reported investigation?
The matter was first brought to the attention of federal authorities in January 2016 after Brady Toensing, a former vice chairman for the Vermont GOP and, at that time, the state chairman for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, sent a letter to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Vermont to "request an investigation into what appears to be federal loan fraud involving the sale of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington headquarters (33-acres of prime, lake-front property) to Burlington College."
