Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, received a secret payment of at least $400,000 (£300,000) to fix talks between the Ukrainian president and President Trump, according to sources in Kiev close to those involved.
The payment was arranged by intermediaries acting for Ukraine's leader, Petro Poroshenko, the sources said, though Mr Cohen was not registered as a representative of Ukraine as required by US law.
Mr Cohen denies the allegation.
The meeting at the White House was last June. Shortly after the Ukrainian president returned home, his country's anti-corruption agency stopped its investigation into Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort.

The DNC met with the Ukrainian government to get dirt on Trump.
Why didn’t our FBI implant helpful spies into the DNC and Hillary’s campaign to stop Ukrainian subterfuge of their campaigns?
Why to these freaks try to connect the Ukraine with Russia regarding the 2016 election? IIRC, Ukraine hasn’t been part of Russia since about 1990.
Do they know that?
So Ukrainian puppets of the CIA are reliable sources?
And?
“sources in Kiev”
fake stream media really scraping the bottom of the barrel for fake anonymous sources ...
After drafting the Benghazi talking points she got to work on who should lead Ukraine
Ukraine is the new Russia.
THIS IS IT! MUELLER, COMEY BREAK OUT THE FINEST CHAMPAGNE! WE GOT THE ORANGE MOFO NOW!!!
You can't make this up.
Wait. Apparently you can.
Even if true, it’s pretty small potatoes compared to the money given to the Clinton Foundation.
“according to sources in Kiev close to those involved”
In other words, “according to Hillary Clinton.”
