Robert Mueller Probe: Manafort 'Suspicious' Wire Transfers Focus of FBI Trump-Russia Investigation

President Donald Trumps campaign chairman Paul Manafort has been the subject of an FBI investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election for months because of suspected ties to pro-Russian entities.
But another focus of the probe led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller is a series of suspicious wire transfers, made by companies linked to him, into the U.S., BuzzFeed News reported on Sunday, citing federal law enforcement officials and a former Treasury official who worked on the matter.
Offshore companies tied to the Trump associate moved over $3 million around the world between 2012 and 2013 and U.S. authorities took notice, scrutinizing the source, motive and destination of the payments.
Investigators are looking at 13 transfers in total, the report said, and five offshore companies linked to Manafort that exhibited unusual behavior: Global Endeavour Inc., Lucicle Consultants Ltd., and three more that remain unidentified.
