Newly released court filings have revealed that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort received a $10 million loan from Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, according to Reuters.
The news outlet reports that an affidavit attached to a 2017 search warrant application was unsealed on Wednesday, and it showed that tax returns for a company Manafort and his wife controlled displayed the loan.
According to Reuters, the loan reveals closer links than previously known between Manafort and the Russian oligarch who has ties to the Kremlin.
FBI agents conducted a raid of Manafort's home in July 2017 after their application was granted. The raid reportedly provided Special Counsel Robert Mueller with key evidence in his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
His investigation has included a probe into Manafort's financial relationship with Deripaska. Reuters reports that Deripaska is a metals magnate who is known to have close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Deripaska was sanctioned by the U.S. in April.
In addition, the affidavit that was unsealed displayed that Deripaska had financially supported Manafort's consulting work in Ukraine. The search warrant application also confirmed that Mueller is probing Manafort's role in a 2016 Trump tower meeting with a Russian lawyer.

Nope, it is not illegal to receive loans from any country unless there are specific sanctions in place against that country. For example it may be illegal to do business with Iran, currently.
Red meat for dumbocrat voters.
Probably many years ago, when Donald was busy chasing something other than the presidency.
It matters if he had a $10 million loan from a Russian Oligarch at the same time he was the head of a presidential campaign. It opens up the probability that our enemy would use it for blackmail and influence.

Our only enemies are the cia/Deepstate and the NWO globalists.

If the loan was from Putin himself it still would be perfectly legal as long as it was to Manafort personally, or an entity he personally owned.
.
Clearly nothing there, or it would be in this article in bold type.

A big so what. He did everything legally. He reported it, etc. Attack by inference. Another nothing burger.
wait til the same nitpicking process is applied to the democrats associated with the Hillary Treasons.
Thats all the way upto obama and includes half the dems in washinton DC
Hey, that means we will finally get to see Obamas so expensively sealed sealed records !!!
Theres actual meat in the charges against hillary and so obvious COVERUP cativity by the obama administration and various appointees.
remind the nitwit leftists you know :
WATERGATE WAS ABOUT THE COVERUP and nothing says that obama cant go to jail still for his conspiring to cover upthe benedict arnold type treasons against the people/country.
And the Iranian Nazi Mullahs received a $150 million GIFT from B. Hussein Obama. A little worse, wouldn’t you say, Herr Mueller?
I found this at Business Insider:
“Deripaska and Manafort also worked together on a lobbying project in the US in 2006, and Deripaska signed a $10 million annual contract with Manafort for the deal, which Manafort said would “greatly benefit the Putin Government.”
worse - it was billion - not million
That was going to be my question to you...
WHAT YEAR DID THIS LOAN TAKE PLACE?
just wondering..
Mueller just continues to make a fool of himself and when all this is over, ROBERT MUELLER will have no reputation left...
They cound have just as easily picked China, Saudi Arabia, or whatever.
Probably because it was 10 or 12 years ago and had nothing to do with Manafort short time he worked for DJT, a Presidential candidate..
SO GUESS IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER...
Is this the ten year old loan?
I was being sarcastic. Probably should have used the /s tag.
