Donald Trump's campaign sought to distance him from his former campaign chief Paul Manafort on Monday night following reports that the FBI is looking into the ex-aide's foreign business ties.

"Mr. Trump severed ties with Mr. Manafort many months ago. Mr. Trump has no knowledge of any of his past or present activities," campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in an email.

NBC News reported Monday that federal investigators had begun a preliminary inquiry into Manafort's ties to Russian interests.

Manafort, who left the campaign in August, told NBC that he was aware of no FBI investigation and denied he had ties to Russian leader Vladimir Putin or other pro-Russian interests.

3. And the only Republican policy position the Trump Campaign cared

about at the Republican National Convention was one that benefited Russia. Domestic affaires Trump cared not one bit.

2. Trump only hires the best people

the best for Russia!
