Paul Manafort, Trump's ex-campaign chief, was 'grave counterintelligence threat' with ties to Russia during 2016 race, Senate report finds
WASHINGTON – Paul Manafort's role as chairman of the Trump campaign, his longstanding ties to people affiliated with Russian intelligence services, and his willingness to share information with them"represented a grave counterintelligence threat" during the 2016 presidential race, according to a new report from the Senate Intelligence Committee.
"We can say, without any hesitation, that the Committee found absolutely no evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump or his campaign colluded with the Russian government to meddle in the 2016 election," Sen. Marco Rubio, the committee's acting chairman, said."What the Committee did find however is very troubling. We found irrefutable evidence of Russian meddling.
The committee also said it obtained evidence suggesting that Kilimnik may have been tied to the Russian intelligence hack and leak operations during the 2016 presidential race. Early last year, a federal judge found that Manafort had lied repeatedly to federal prosecutors about his contacts with Kilimnik, ultimately upending a plea agreement Manafort had struck with Mueller’s team. Among the contested exchanges, prosecutors asserted that Manafort lied about having provided polling data to Kilimnik.
