Ukraine: Ledger Shows $12 Million in Cash for Trump Campaign Chief
------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, The New York Times has revealed new details about Trump's
campaign manager Paul Manafort's political consulting work in Ukraine.
The Times reports that handwritten ledgers unearthed by Ukraine's newly
formed National Anti-Corruption Bureau show $12.7 million of cash
payments that were slated to go to Manafort. It is not known whether
Manafort actually received the money. Manafort spent years consulting
for former President Viktor Yanukovych. In the 1980s, Manafort also did
political consulting work for former Philippine dictator Ferdinand
Marcos.
