Putin ally Oleg Deripaska told CNBC Sunday that his relations with Paul Manafort ended 'seven or eight years ago.'
Russian tycoon Oleg Deripaska said in response to U.S. allegations against him that his relations with Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's one-time campaign manager, ended"seven or eight years ago."
In an exclusive interview with CNBC's Geoff Cutmore in Moscow, Deripaska called U.S. allegations against him"very absurd" and claimed that his name and brand were used since he is"successful." Manafort reportedly used his position in the Trump campaign to try and resolve his debt problems with Deripaska, offering him"private briefings" about the progress of the campaign, according to 2016 emails shared with investigators.He told CNBC Sunday that now he is waiting to hear how the U.S. will respond, saying"Justice Department will present facts, and I hope they will not hide behind national interests.
A court filing unsealed in June of last year revealed that Deripaska loaned Manafort $10 million, though the timing of the loan is unclear. Financial documents uncovered by the FBI found that Deripaska helped fund Manafort's consulting work in Ukraine, which began in 2005.
