...it turns out he was working for the Russians.
Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman reportedly entangled in an FBI investigation for his possible involvement in Russian election interference, secretly worked for a Putin-allied Russian billionaire to advance Russia’s interests abroad, the Associated Press reported Wednesday. Manafort lobbied on behalf of Russian aluminum magnate Oleg Deripaskia for $10 million a year from 2005 to around 2009. Deripaska was known as one Putin’s closest allies during that time.

In early November, Manafort told NBC News that he “never had ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin, or had dealings with Putin and his government.”

But in 2005, Manafort penned a memo to Deripaska that laid out his plan to prop up Russia’s global standing, even though the Eastern European power’s relationship with the U.S. was deteriorating at that time.
“We are now of the belief that this model can greatly benefit the Putin Government if employed at the correct levels with the appropriate commitment to success,” Manafort wrote.
