Manafort ignored advice to stop talking with Russian-linked associate after indictment: report
Source: The Hill
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort ignored the advice of his allies and continued to talk to a Russian associate even after he was indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller, The New York Times reported late Friday.
Manafort and Konstantin Kilimnik traded emails throughout the 2016 presidential campaign - even appearing to discuss the financial benefit Manafort's high level position could bring, according to the report.
Manafort reportedly continued to communicate with the trusted associate after first being indicted in October 2017 for money laundering.
Allies of Manafort urged him to cut off communication with Kilimnik, also known as "KK," The Times reported. They reportedly argued that Kilimnik's communications could be bugged and that he is not discreet or tactful.

Wonder if the Kremlin is assisting Fox with the propaganda defending their mole in the WH.
