Ukraine Investigators Release Files on Trump Campaign Chairman Who Resigned
Source: ABC News
Ukraines state anti-corruption agency has published what it says are scans of every mention of Paul Manaforts name in so-called black accounts linked to the country's toppled president Viktor Yanukovych.
The accounts prompted questions about Manafort's previous work in Ukraine and his links to the former president, who fled the country in disgrace in 2014 and is now being investigated for corruption. The controversy may have played a role in Manafort's resignation today as Trump's campaign chairman.
The so-called black accounts are handwritten ledgers that Ukrainian investigators say appear to be a record of illegal off-the-books payments linked to Yanukovychs political party. They are at the center of a corruption investigation there. The presence of Manaforts name in the ledgers was first reported by The New York Times earlier this week.
Late Thursday, Ukraines National Anti-Corruption Bureau released scans of 22 entries from the ledgers where Manaforts name appears. In the scans published on the bureaus website, the words Paul Manafort can be seen written in Cyrillic lettering alongside records of payments. The bureau says the payments associated with Manafort add up to over $12.7 million between 2007 and 2012.

Nice to know that the Republicans had their foreign policy platform written by a lobbyist for Russian interests.

(1,907 posts)I wonder if it was part of the intel briefing dipshit got. If he was told they were looking at manafart. Then dipshit warned him about it. It would look really bad if the fbi came in to the campaign office and took off manafart. So they wanted to get him away as fast as possible.
