US senator alleges a Ukrainian oligarch and Manafort associate has made 'hundreds of millions' in 'illicit profits' while fighting extradition to the US, according to a letter that was obtained by NBCNews after FOIA litigation with Justice Dept.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Sen. Wicker, Rick VanMeter, said,"As the co-chair of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, Senator Wicker regularly meets with foreign delegations. He has a deep interest in Ukraine and a strong record of opposing Vladimir Putin's aggression in the region. He stands firmly with the people of Ukraine fighting for freedom and reform. The letter was an inquiry from Senator Wicker to the U.S.
One of the other partners working with Manafort on the deal was the former exclusive broker for Fred Trump's properties, Brad Zackson. Fred Trump is the late father of Donald Trump.
