There will also be email communication between Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman, and Tad Devine, a Democratic consultant who worked for the same Ukrainian politician.

It is the work Manafort did for Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and his political party that is at the center of the criminal charges against him in both Alexandria and D.C. federal court.

Evidence against Manafort includes emails to Bernie’s top strategist

Special counsel Robert Mueller has released a list of 500 potential exhibits for Paul Manafort’s upcoming trial, including photos of his homes, cars, a pricey watch — and emails between Manafort and Tad Devine, Bernie Sanders’ top strategist in the presidential campaign.

Devine, a veteran political strategist, worked for Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and his pro-Kremlin Party of Regions at the time, as did Manafort, the Washington Post reported.

Their email exchanges continued until the spring of 2014, and Devine went to work for Sanders later that year.

Devine — who worked for Sanders in the 1990s and also worked as an aide to Al Gore, John Kerry and Michael Dukakis on their campaigns — also communicated with Rick Gates, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy and making false statements in the Mueller probe, according to the filing.

His name appears 16 times in the documents.
