An Anonymous Coward writes:

Paul Manafort, the chairman of Donald Trump's presidential campaign who has been linked to a pro-Russia lobbying scandal, has resigned.

[...] Manafort has drawn fire for millions of dollars in undisclosed payments he allegedly received for lobbying efforts on behalf of a pro-Russian Ukrainian political party.

[...] The documents allegedly show funds allocated to Manafort totalling more than $12.7m between November 2007 and October 2012. But the agency emphasised that it had not determined whether Manafort had actually received that money.

    The AP’s article also avoided mentioning that the U.S. government overthrew, in a bloody coup which ended this lobbying campaign, the Ukrainian government

    If there was ever a blog taking russian cash, its that one. That line is straight out of Putin's PR machine.
