Is Donald Trump's Campaign Manager Still on the Payroll of a Ukrainian Political Leader? | Mother Jones
Quote:
Is Donald Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, still on the payroll of a Ukrainian politician or party?
According to the New York Times, which on Monday published an investigation into Manafort's decadelong involvement in Ukrainian politics, the answer is unclear. As the Times detailed, Manafort—who has a lengthy history of helping dictators and strongmen rehab their reputations—once represented Ukraine's former President Viktor Yanukovych, a pro-Russian politician with ties to Vladimir Putin who fled Ukraine in 2014 as demonstrations and uprisings raged in the country. But Manafort's work in Ukraine didn't end with Yanukovych's ouster. He subsequently went to work for Serhiy Lyovochkin, Yanukovych's former chief of staff, to revitalize Yanukovych's beleaguered political party. The Times reported this intriguing detail near the end of its article:
It is not clear that Mr. Manafort's work in Ukraine ended with his work with Mr. Trump's campaign.
A communications aide for Mr. Lyovochkin, who financed Mr. Manafort's work, declined to say whether he was still on retainer or how much he had been paid.
