The final volume of the Senate Intelligence Committee report finds the Trump campaign chairmanâs contacts with Kremlin-linked officials posed a âgrave counterintelligence threat." https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/senate-intelligence-trump-russia-report/2020/08/18/62a7573e-e093-11ea-b69b-64f7b0477ed4_story.html
"Manafort worked with a Russian intelligence officer âon narratives that sought to undermine evidence that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. election,â including the idea that Ukrainian election interference was of greater concern."
"Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya, who met with Manafort, Donald Jr., and Jared Kushner at Trump Tower in 2016, had âsignificant connectionsâ to the Kremlin. The information she offered to them was also âpart of a broader influence operation targeting the United States.""
"Taken as a whole, Manafort's high level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services, particularly Kilimnik and associates of Oleg Deripaska, represented a grave counterintelligence threat."
