A Ukrainian lawmaker released financial documents today showing that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort laundered payments from the party of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych -- who enjoyed Moscow’s backing while he was in power and has been in hiding in Russia since being overthrown by pro-Western protesters in 2014.

Manafort resigned from Trump’s campaign in August after his name surfaced in connection with some of those payments.

The documents were released just hours after the House Intelligence Committee questioned FBI Director James B. Comey about possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

I don’t think we’re going to get to the bottom of this until the investigation is headed by a bi-partisan select committee of Congress, and run by an independent special prosecutor.
