Paul Manafort offered to provide information on the race to Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, who has ties to the Kremlin, just two weeks before Trump accepted the Republican nomination.
Manafort, who was former campaign manager for President Trump, originally sent an email proposing to share information to an overseas intermediary, requesting that Deripaska receive the message. Deripaska is a aluminum magnate and had conducted business previously with Manafort, according to the Washington Post.
