Investigators for the Russian probe have uncovered more information into Paul Manafort’s life. They recently found out that he may have closer ties with Russia than expected.
Flight records show that Manafort traveled extensively to Ukraine and Russia. He had considerable contact with allies of Vladimir Putin.
It was also discovered that he took at least 18 flights to Moscow. This was considered troubling and had generated more interest from investigators.
The inquiry also looked into a business partner of Michael Flynn. Bijan Kian had now become a person of interest in the Russian probe.
Bijan Kian
Kian had become a person that Mueller was looking into because of his affiliation with Flynn’s lobbying firm.
He was a partner of the Flynn Intel Group which no longer existed. He was accused of refusal to share information with investigators.
Flynn’s firm worked for foreign Governments at one stage. Flynn’s son had also faced charges due to him often accompanying his father.
Kian was said to be an Iranian-American who was a co-founder of the Nowruz Commission. The Nowruz Commission was a non-profit organization located in Washington D.C.
The main purpose of questioning Kian was to gather what he knew and what role he played.
