According to a report from NBC News, the FBI has begun to conduct a preliminary investigation into the foreign business connections of former Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. Manafort was previously linked to a series of multimillion-dollar business propositions between Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs and was kicked off the Trump campaign shortly after a few other reports emerged about his dealings. Manafort denied that there was an investigation going on and told NBC News: “This is all political propaganda, meant to deflect.”
