guide Department of Education decisions with the helpful assistance of the creation "museum" and give control of the FCC to Infowars and Alex Jones.

The Times reported that other prosecutors in Ukraine were examining a group of offshore shell companies that members of Mr. Yanukovychs inner circle had used to fund lavish lifestyles, including a presidential residence with a private zoo, golf course and tennis court. Those prosecutors are looking at many transactions that involved Mr. Manafort, including an $18 million deal that sold Ukrainian cable television assets to a partnership put together by Mr. Manafort and a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, a close ally of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.
Four days after The Times published the story about Mr. Manaforts business dealings, he resigned as Mr. Trumps campaign chairman. The F.B.I.s criminal investigation continues, though agents have followed the Justice Departments guidance and have not taken overt steps in the case.
In August, around the same time the decision was made to keep the Manafort investigation at a low simmer, the F.B.I. grappled with whether to issue subpoenas in the Clinton Foundation case, which, like the Manafort matter, was in its preliminary stages. The investigation, based in New York, had not developed much evidence and was based mostly on information that had surfaced in news stories and the book Clinton Cash, according to several law enforcement officials briefed on the case.
The book asserted that foreign entities gave money to former President Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, and in return received favors from the State Department when Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state. Mrs. Clinton has adamantly denied those claims.
