Paul Manafort & Jared Kushner were also in attendance guffaws
The FBI reportedly began a criminal investigation into Manafort in 2014, shortly after Yanukovich was deposed.[73] That investigation predated the 2016 election by several years and is ongoing. In addition, an FBI counterintelligence probe began looking into possible collusion between the Russian government and associates of Trump in July 2016.[74][8]
On January 19, 2017, the eve of the Trump's presidential inauguration, it was reported that Manafort was under active investigation by multiple federal agencies including the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Director of National Intelligence and the financial crimes unit of the Treasury Department.[75] Investigations were said to be based on intercepted Russian communications as well as financial transactions.[76]
In May 2017, in response to a request of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), Manafort submitted over "300 pages of documents" "included drafts of speeches, calendars and notes from his time on the campaign" to the Committee "related to its investigation of Russian election meddling", according to a source familiar with the Senate probe.[77]
Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who was appointed on May 17, 2017 by the Justice Department to oversee the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and related matters, took over the existing criminal probe involving Manafort.[74] [8][78]
