KIEV, Ukraine — A Ukrainian lawmaker on Tuesday released new financial documents allegedly showing that a former campaign chairman to President Trump laundered payments from the party of a disgraced ex-leader of Ukraine using offshore accounts in Belize and Kyrgyzstan.

The new documents may revive questions about the ties between the Trump aide, Paul Manafort, and the party of the former president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, who has been in hiding in Russia since being overthrown by pro-Western protestors in 2014. He is wanted in Ukraine on corruption charges.

Manafort, who worked for Yanukovych’s Party of Regions for nearly a decade, resigned from Trump’s campaign in August after his name in connection with secret payments totaling $12.7 million by Yanukovych’s party. Manafort has denied receiving those payments, listed in the party’s so-called “black ledger.”

The latest documents were released just hours after the House Intelligence Committee questioned FBI Director James Comey about possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Moscow, which also touched on Manafort’s work for Yanukovych’s party in Ukraine.

1. Manafort

Looks like a Mafia godfather. Right out of central casting.

2. Here again is that curious "circumstantial evidence."

Manafort has categorically denied contact with "Russians" while being exposed - like so many others!

Rachel last night described how Manafort's appearance in the campaign coincided with the beginning of the campaign attacks on NATO which continue today as administration policy!

All we need is that proverbial "smoking gun" of direct evidence and it is over.

17. Well, then we have to beat the doors down on McConnell to serve justice

Which he will fight fight fight against, screaming and clawing. That guy is the definition of evil.

5. Manafort is dirty as heck

7. This Is Why We Need All Banking Public

They can't hide the bribes.

Cash is far more difficult than offshore secret accounts.

Make all owners of accounts over $25,000 public knowledge.

8. republicans selling out America. Again/

it totally sucks that the republicans are so freaking treasonous to the USA.

deplorable

10. Well they learned their lesson well from Watergate, dont do it yourself contract it out so you have

plausible deniability.

[calimary]

15. That's one thing you can say about the GOP. They do learn from their mistakes.

Deviously so.

[cstanleytech]

9. Hmm I know some will say "oh this doesnt matter since he left the campaign" but the fact

is it does matter especially if he helped someone into a job in the campaign who now works in the Whitehouse and or was appointed to a position by Trump as they could very well be compromised.

14. No, WaPo, Manafort wasn't just some Trump "aide." He was his campaign manager!

He started working for Trump as his "Campaign CEO" in March of 2016. He was in charge of the Republican National Convention and orchestrated the whole thing. He didn't resign in disgrace until well after the convention. He was NOT just some aide.

16. Drip. Drip. Drip. Spraaaaaaaaaaaaay!

More and more pieces of the puzzle.
