U.S. Reportedly Intercepted Suspected Russian Agents' Chatter That Manafort Asked for Their Help With ClintonBy Elliot Hannon AUG. 3 2017 11:43 PM
Buried in a long story on CNN Thursday recapping the current state of play in the Russia investigation was a reminder that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who is largely out of the spotlight at the moment, may not be for long.
Manafort, who had spent years on the political fringes helping dictators and strongmen get elected around the world and then lobbying on their behalf in Washington, came out of nowhere to join the Trump campaign, and then take over the reins when Cory Lewandowski was fired in June 2016.
By that time, unusual communications between the Trump campaign and Russian officials had pinged on U.S. intelligence agencies radar. As did Trumps new right hand man.
