Feds Have ‘Thousands Of Intercepts’ On Russian Oligarch, Paul Manafort: Report
A new report indicates that Mueller has mountains of dirt on Paul Manafort.
Federal investigators have “thousands of intercepts” on Russian/Ukrainian billionaire Dmitry Firtash, federal prosecutors told a judge Friday, according to a new report by the Chicago Tribune.
The claim from federal prosecutors was made during an extradition hearing for Firtash in Chicago. Firtash has been fighting extradition since 2014.
Firtash has deep ties to Paul Manafort and Vladimir Putin.
As the Chicago Tribune notes, “The latest revelation about the scale of U.S. wire tapping may add to the intrigue surrounding Firtash’s ties to Manafort, with whom he discussed a New York real estate deal in 2008. Though Manafort is not named in the Chicago case, his home was raided as part of special prosecutor Robert Mueller’s investigation of alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, and he spent the better part of a decade advising ousted pro-Russia Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, to whom Firtash was a key supporter.”
And this new report indicates that Federal investigators likely have thousands of intercepts on Pual Manfort.
