Senate Intel Cmte. says in report that key associate of Paul Manafort is a Russian intel officer who may have helped coordinate Russian hacking of Democratic emails, and that Manafort himself may have had knowledge of the effort before emails were leaked.
The committee says Manafort's introduction to then-candidate Trump came in February 2016 primarily through financier Tom Barrack, a Trump friend, with additional lobbying by Trump's daughter Ivanka.
Barrack's pitch, the report says, was forwarded to Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner. The report says,"Ivanka Trump ultimately did share the email with her father along with a handwritten note at the bottom which read: 'Daddy, Tom says we should get Paul.'" Manafort joined the Trump campaign in March 2016 and left in August 2016 after media reports about his work in Ukraine forced his resignation. He was ultimately charged and pleaded guilty in an investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller's office, and later a federal judge determined he violating the cooperation agreement that was part of his guilty plea by lying to investigators.
