longtime associate of former Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort passed "sensitive" information to Russian intelligence agents during the 2016 campaign, the Treasury Department said Thursday.

Konstantin Kilimnik, who worked closely with Manafort on behalf of Russian-backed oligarchs in Ukraine, was hit with sanctions in the Biden administration's latest response to Russian election meddling. The Treasury Department said in a news release announcing the sanctions that Kilimnik was a known Russian "agent" and "provided the Russian Intelligence Services with sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy."

The Treasury Department statement marks the first time that the government directly said that Kilimnik provided the internal data he received to Russian intelligence agencies.

Kilimnik, who also sought to "promote the narrative that Ukraine, not Russia, had interfered" in the 2016 presidential election, according to the release, was sanctioned for also engaging in "foreign interference" in the 2020 election. The FBI is offering a $250,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

So, 2 things:

1. There definitely WAS collusion between the fat donny campaign and Russian intelligence.
2. Fox New's promotion of the lie that Ukraine, NOT Russian interfered with the 2016 election was Russian propaganda.

trumpublicans are working with the Russians!
 
No one ever believed "we met about adoption policy".
 
Manafort was a Russian asset way before he joined the Trump campaign. Believing he stopped being a Russian asset because of that is naive.
 
Of course there was collusion. Why else would a campaign manager share sensitive polling data with a foreigner?
