https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...deripaska-victor-boyarkin-putin-a8704101.html Paul Manafort 'worked with ex-Russian spy while running campaign for White House' ‘He owed us a lot of money, and he was offering ways to pay if back,’ Victor Boyarkin says Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman was working with a former Russian spy during the US presidential race over debts he owed to a Kremlin-linked oligarch, it has been claimed. Paul Manafort led Mr Trump’s campaign for president for three months in 2016 before he was forced to resign after his links to Russian interests in Ukraine were made public. Now a former member of the GRU, Russia’s most feared and secretive spy service, has said he was in contact with Manafort during that time over millions of dollars the political adviser allegedly owed to billionaire businessman Oleg Deripaska. “He owed us a lot of money, and he was offering ways to pay if back,” Victor Boyarkin told Time, in reference to Manafort in 2016. Mr Boyarkin also told the magazine he had been approached by special counsel Robert Mueller’s office, which is probing possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, but that he told investigators “to go dig a ditch”. His claims could be relevant to Mr Mueller’s investigation as they would present some of the clearest evidence of leverage powerful Russians had over a senior member of Mr Trump’s team. Mr Boyarkin was last month placed at the top of the US government’s latest sanctions list against high-profile Russians involved in Moscow’s “continued regard for international norms”. The Treasury Department document described Mr Boyarkin as a former GRU officer who “reports directly to Deripaska and has led business negotiations on Deripaska’s behalf”.
#no_collusion Paul Manafort shared confidential polling data related to the 2016 presidential campaign with Konstantin Kilimnik, Kilimnik is linked to Russian military intelligence. "The GRU Guy." Coordination between a Trump campaign official and the Russian government. A pathway by which the Russians could have access to Trump campaign data. Manafort's filing also acknowledges he met with Kilimnik in Madrid while he worked on Trump's presidential campaign. That would now total three known meetings Manafort had with Kilimnik during the campaign. Here is a guarantee; Paul Manafort will not see the light of day again .
