Rep. Kinzinger calls for investigation into Manafort-Russian ties
By ZACH MONTELLARO 08/16/16 08:21 PM EDT

Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger on Tuesday called for Donald Trump to investigate his campaign manager after The New York Times reported that Paul Manafort was linked to millions in secret payments from a pro-Russia Ukrainian political party.

“I think Donald Trump ought to really investigate this and where his chief adviser, what his association with the Russians are,” the Illinois Republican said to CNN’s Jake Tapper.

Manafort blasted the Times after the report, denying he accepted any cash payments. The Trump campaign also publicly defended Manafort following the report.

Kinzinger tied the Manafort allegations to a larger trend within the Trump campaign he equated to an "affection" for the Russian government.

The United States of America is slowly becoming what WW1 and WW2 spewed unless sane heads start to realize the ugly pattern here and try to stop it.
