How do you forget that your firm received $17.1 million from a foreign country for services rendered and forget to disclose both the work done and the amount earned on the necessary forms as required by law?
Paul Manafort managed to that, according to new reporting by the Washington Post:
A consulting firm led by Paul Manafort, who chaired Donald Trumps presidential campaign for several months last year, retroactively filed forms Tuesday showing that his firm received $17.1 million over two years from a political party that dominated Ukraine before its leader fled to Russia in 2014.
Manafort disclosed the total payments his firm received between 2012 and 2014 in a Foreign Agents Registration Act filing late Tuesday that was submitted to the U.S. Justice Department. The report makes Manafort the second former senior Trump adviser to acknowledge the need to disclose work for foreign interests.
Manafort is one of a number of Trump associates whose campaign activities are being scrutinized by Special Counsel Robert Mueller as part of a probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Muellers team has been consolidating inquiries into matters unrelated to the election.
