Congressional investigators zoning in on Manafort communication with liaison abroad
By PIERRE THOMAS JOHN SANTUCCI • Sep 21, 2017, 5:05 PM ET
Sources with knowledge of the investigation surrounding former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort tell ABC News a key focus for congressional investigators is emails between Manafort and his longtime associate Konstantin Kilimnik.
Kilimnik, often referred to in these emails as “KK,” has served as Manafort’s liaison overseas since the mid-2000s. In the past, Kilimnik has been reported as a former Russian army trained linguist.
Kilimnik’s work for Manafort focused mainly on relations with power brokers and government liaisons in both Ukraine and Russia, among other nations.
As reported by The Washington Post, Manafort reached out to Kilimnik to re-establish a relationship with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, dubbed in these emails “OVD.”
