Steve Schwarzman, Blackstone's chief executive and a GOP backer, , was one of the key backers of the GOP after the 2016 election. He donated just over $12.8 million to the party last year.
Accusations that U.S. President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to help him win the 2016 presidential election"made no sense," said Steve Schwarzman, the chief executive of asset management giant Blackstone.
"The allegations that the president and the senior people were conspiring with Russians to rig an American election ... just made no sense to me," Schwarzman told CNBC's Eunice Yoon at the China Development Forum in Beijing. Yoon had asked whether the Mueller report could become a risk to the U.S. and global economy.
The findings of the Mueller report have not been made public, and it's still not clear how much will be revealed. So far, 34 people and three Russian companies have faced charges as a result of the investigation.
