[ffr]

The Senate voted tonight to authorize the Senate Intelligence committee to release a transcript of the committee's interview with W. Samuel Patten. Patten, an associate of Manafort's, had pleaded guilty to one count of failing to register as a foreign agent.

The prosecution in the special counsel's case against Manafort in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia requested a copy of the interview with Patten conducted by the Committee. Patten was charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agents for Ukranians.

Patten was a business associate of Konstantin Kilimnik, a man U.S. authorities said has ties to Russian intelligence. Kilimnik worked closely with Manafort, who was found guilty last month of eight financial counts. Kilimnik also is a co-defendant in a pending case against Manafort in Washington that accuses them both of witness tampering. - CBS News
