Former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort is now registering as a foreign agent


Manafort sits at the intersection of Russia and the Trump campaign.<time class="c-byline__item" data-ui="timestamp" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: inherit; vertical-align: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Manafort has worked, in one capacity or other, for foreign politicians since at least his mid-1980s advocacy on behalf of Angolan guerrilla leader Jonas Savimbi, a onetime Maoist who was trying to rebrand himself as a freedom fighter for the Reagan era.
Foreign agent registration means, in essence, that you are an official lobbyist for a foreign government — there are well over 1,000 registered foreign agents in Washington.
But while it’s not entirely clear what about Manafort’s business arrangements have changed to lead him to conclude that he needs to formally register, it likely has something to do with the increased scrutiny Manafort is receiving as a result of his ties to both Trump and the government of Russia.
Manafort went to work for Trump’s campaign without pay last summer, after Corey Lewandowski’s June 2016 ouster in the wake of his physical altercation with a Breitbart reporter. Manafort was an old associate of Trump’s, having worked with him on casino-related political matters years before the launch of the businessman’s presidential campaign, and his hiring was initially seen as a somewhat desperate reach to hire an old-time GOP operative who hadn’t really been in the game in years.
But Trump’s puzzling affection for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin — and Putin’s subsequent efforts to intervene in the US presidential campaign on Trump’s behalf — cast Manafort’s work in a somewhat different light. One of his major clients in recent years had been the Russia-friendly Ukrainian political party whose ouster from power set off the Russian invasion of Crimea and eastern Ukraine.
Manafort has, consequently, figured extremely prominently in various lines of speculation about ties between Trump and Russia.
New evidence emerged Wednesday confirmed earlier reports that Manafort was paid millions by the pro-Russian Ukrainian party while it was in office, and reporting in late March showed that in the mid-aughts Manafort pitched Russian oligarchs on a scheme to “greatly benefit the Putin government” through pro-Russian advocacy in the West.
Under the circumstances, it’s natural that investigators looking into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government would take an interest in Manafort.
Manafort himself maintains that he’s done nothing wrong. But a person under that kind of scrutiny needs to make sure he’s not also somehow violating of the letter of the Foreign Agents Registration Act or otherwise skirting the law.

Report: FBI granted FISA warrant to surveil ex-Trump aide Carter Page

BY OLIVIA BEAVERS - 04/11/17 07:37 PM EDT

<article class="node-328399 node node-article view-mode-full clearfix" about="/policy/cybersecurity/328399-report-fbi-granted-fisa-warrant-to-surveil-ex-trump-aide-carter-page" typeof="sioc:Item foafocument" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
The FBI obtained a warrant to secretly surveil former Donald Trump aide Carter Page last summer under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), according to a Tuesday Washington Post report.
The FBI and Justice Department demonstrated probable cause that Page is acting on behalf of a foreign state in order to be granted the warrant.
The FISA warrant was part of the FBI’s investigation into possible ties between Russia and Trump campaign associates, law enforcement and U.S. officials told the Post.
“This confirms all of my suspicions about unjustified, politically motivated government surveillance,” Page told the Post Tuesday. “I have nothing to hide.”
The White House, FBI and Justice Department declined the Post’s request for comment.
This report indicates that the FBI believed Page was in touch with Russian officials during the 2016 election.
House and Senate Intelligence committees both have ongoing investigations into whether Trump associates worked with the Kremlin in an attempt to help Trump win the election.
Page has been at the center of speculation about links between Trump aides and Russia because of his ties to the country and a trip to Moscow in July.
Page and the White House have denied all allegations of improper communications.
The government has not formally charged Page with any wrongdoing, and it is unclear if the Justice Department plans to do so.
The Washington Post first reported last week that Page admitted that he met with a Russian spy in 2013, but the former Moscow-based investment banker denies any wrongdoing with regard to Russia and the Trump campaign.
Trump identified Page as a foreign policy adviser in the spring of 2016 to the Post, but campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks later told the paper that Page had an “informal” role.
A FISA warrant is granted for a 90-day span, and this one was renewed more than once, officials told the Post.
FISA grants are given sparingly, quietly, and require the approval from top Justice Department and FBI officials.
The FISA application for Page laid out in a lengthy testimony claims about how he may be linked to the Russian government or an agent who is carrying out clandestine actions for the Kremlin, an official told the Post. A crime does not need to be committed in order to receive a warrant. But information obtained through a FISA warrant could be used in later prosecution.
The warrant application also reportedly claimed Page was in communication with other Russian agents whose identities have not yet been publicly disclosed, in addition to his contacts that have already been reported.
The FISA reveals that the FBI and Justice Department both worked to uncover Russian ties to the election as early as July, an official told the newspaper.
Page reportedly was the only U.S. citizen that the government directly surveilled in 2016 through a FISA warrant as part of the government’s Russia probe.
Page raised concern among foreign policy experts for publicly and effusively praising Russian President Vladimir Putin and criticizing U.S. foreign policy towards Russia. In July, Page traveled to Moscow to deliver a speech on the topic.
The Post reports that the FBI and the Justice Department felt reluctant to use a FISA warrant on campaign figures during the election because it could lead to intercepted communications regarding political campaign strategy.
Obtaining a FISA warrant to surveil foreign diplomats, however, is much more common. The Post reported the FBI used a FISA warrant to listen to Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak’s conversations with Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser who was ousted after details of the talks became public.
