Trump Campaign Chiefs Firm Got $17 Million From Pro-Russia Party
Paul Manafort, who was forced out as President Trump’s campaign chairman last summer after five months of infighting and criticism about his business dealings with pro-Russian interests, disclosed on Tuesday that his consulting firm had received more than $17 million in payments over two years from a Ukrainian political party with ties to the Kremlin.
The new disclosure hints at the vast fortunes available to top-drawer American political consultants plying their trade in other countries.
