Paul Manafort Implicated In Russian Interference

Senate Intel Panel Releases Long-Awaited Report On Russian Election Interference.

(Washington, DC) — The Senate Intelligence Committee is out with a long-awaited final report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The report says Donald Trump’s then-campaign manager Paul Manafort worked closely with a Russian intelligence official who may have been involved in the hacking of Democratic Party emails. The bipartisan panel also accused the Trump administration of obstructing its investigation with “novel claims” of executive privilege. Manafort was later convicted of fraud and tax charges that were unrelated to the Russia investigation.
