Russian recipient of DT polling data also gave $50K to Sam Patten for inaugural tickets

Sam Patten pleaded guilty to acting as an unregistered foreign lobbyist in August. Since then he's been cooperating with the Mueller investigation.

So, a few interesting details about Ukrainian oligarch Serhiy Lyovochkin, who was one of the recipients of the polling data that Paul Manafort gave to Konstantin Kilimnik:

He funneled $50,000 to Trump's inaugural fund through Sam Patten, who worked for Cambridge Analytica. 1/

NEW: Paul Manafort intended for the polling data he gave to Konstantin Kilimnik to go to Serhiy Lyovochkin and Rinat Akhmetov, two Ukrainian oligarchs who owed him millions.

Manafort expected a $2.4 million payment from them in November 2016.https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/09/politics/manafort-ukrainian-oligarchs/index.html

As part of his plea, Patten agreed to cooperate with both Mueller's office and prosecutors from the DC US Attorney's Office going forward, including turning over documents and testifying at future grand jury hearings or criminal trials.
