Paul Manafort worked for Russian billionaire in 2005 to greatly benefit the Putin Government'
WASHINGTON - The Associated Press has learned that President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to advance the interests of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Manafort wrote a 2005 strategy plan that he said "can greatly benefit the Putin Government." At the time, U.S.-Russia relations under Republican President George W. Bush were growing worse.
Manafort’s arrangement was with Russian aluminum magnate Oleg Deripaska (DARE-uh-poss-kuh), a close Putin ally.
Manafort signed a $10 million annual contract beginning in 2006 and maintained a business relationship until at least 2009. The work was described in interviews with people familiar with it and confidential business records obtained by the AP.
