Then-Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort met with a Ukrainian business associate who previously served in the Russian army last August, as speculation rose about Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential campaign, the Washington Post reports.
Manafort and Konstantin Kilimnik met in a New York City cigar bar and discussed issues including the conflict in Ukraine and unpaid bills from clients, according to a statement from Kilimnik to the Post through Manafort’s attorney.
The statement also says the dinner was the second of two meetings he had with Manafort while Manafort was working for Trump's campaign.
