White House: Trump knew nothing of Manafort's work with Russian billionaire to benefit Putin
White House denied on Wednesday that U.S. President Donald Trump had been aware about his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort's efforts to lobby on behalf of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska in the mid-2000s.
As reported by Censor.NET citing Aol.news, this was said by White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
"The president was not aware of Paul's clients from the last decade," Spicer told reporters.
The Associated Press reported on Wednesday that Manafort was paid $10 million between 2006-2009 to lobby on behalf of Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, a close Putin ally, using a "model" that would "greatly benefit the Putin Government if employed at the correct levels with the appropriate commitment to success."

If the FBI and the NSA will not be able to gather sufficient evidence to prove the charges, Trump can use it to demonstrate the "conspiracy" against the American elite itself - and revenge, setting people against the American establishment.
If the FBI and NSA not present convincing evidence, the Trump avoid serious consequences, although the party's reputation will be stained.
Only in the case where the collected facts are undeniable and irrefutable, Trump can wait scandal that, according to Egert , surpassed in scope and consequences Uoterheytsku deal that cost the position of President Richard Nixon.
The House of Representatives will have to file a lawsuit against Trump personally, if it becomes certain that he knew his people contacts with Russian special services.
However, in this case the Senate, which will depend on the decision to impeach may not to pursue the case because the Republicans control. However, it is difficult to predict their position after the facts become known that cause so loud political scandal. If the impeachment still happens, the presidency temporarily takes Vice President Michael Pence.
