Trump Ex-Campaign Manager Had $60M Relationship With Russian Oligarch

Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort has much stronger financial ties to a Russian oligarch than have been previously reported.

An NBC News investigation reveals that $26 million changed hands in the form of loan between a company linked to Manafort and the oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire with close ties to the Kremlin.

The loan brings the total of their known business dealings to around $60 million over the past decade, according to financial documents filed in Cyprus and the Cayman Islands.

Manafort was forced to resign from the Trump campaign in August 2016, following allegations of improper financial dealings, charges he has repeatedly denied. He has become a central figure in the FBI investigation seeking to determine if there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia leading up to the election.
