WAPO: Paul Manafort shared 2016 polling data with Russian associate, according to court filing 

Paul Manafort shared 2016 presidential campaign polling data with Konstantin Kilimnik, an associate the FBI has said has ties to Russian intelligence, according to a court filing. 

In January 2017, Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen has said he was given a Russian-friendly peace plan for Ukraine during a meeting at a New York hotel with a Ukrainian lawmaker and Felix Sater, a longtime Trump business associate. 

The proposal would have paved the way for the United States to lift sanctions on Russia, a top foreign policy goal of the Kremlin. Manafort told The Washington Post in 2017 he had “no role” in the episode. 

In emails first reported by The Post, Manafort, who was deeply in debt at the time he agreed to work for Trump’s campaign for no pay, wrote to Kilimnik during the campaign and said he hoped to use his campaign role to “get whole.” He also asked Kilimnik to offer private briefings about the campaign to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian businessman who is close to Putin and to whom Manafort owed money. A spokeswoman for Deripaska has said he was never offered or received briefings about the Trump campaign.
