Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was blackmailed over Russia ties after being hacked [View all]
A new report suggests that Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, was the victim of a blackmail attempt by a Ukrainian parliament member who was aware of both Trump’s and Manafort’s connections to President Vladimir Putin of Russia.
Manafort has ties to Russia that include his having worked for the pro-Russian former president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, and an FBI investigation of Trump’s connections to Russia may also examine Manafort. According to Politico, Manafort’s daughter received a text from Serhiy Leshchenko, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, that threatened to expose Manafort’s financial ties to Yanukyovych and an alleged meeting of Trump with Yanukyovych crony Serhiy Tulub.
