Fmr. Trump Campaign Chair Paul Manafort Facing New Accusations in Ukraine
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The New York Times reported Monday that former Trump campaign chair Paul
Manafort is facing a new round of accusations in Ukraine, after evidence
emerged that he sought to hide payments he'd received while doing
political consulting work for former President Viktor Yanukovych.
Manafort was ousted as Trump's campaign chair in August after
handwritten ledgers unearthed in Ukraine showed $12.7 million of cash
payments from a pro-Russian party that were slated to go to
Manafort-although it is not known whether he ever received the money.
