Basically, Fahrenthold was checking false claims of Trump donating to charities and came across "Big Apple Association". Then a Trump tenants $100,000 piano gets stolen missing. It turns up at Amadeus Pianos who are selling it to someone else and the tenant is trying to stop it. Low and behold, Trump pseudo beneficiary "Big Apple Association" is at the same residential address as "Amadeus Pianos". Small world?
