WASHINGTON — Paul Manafort's notes from a controversial Trump Tower meeting with Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign included the word "donations," near a reference to the Republican National Committee, two sources briefed on the evidence told NBC News.

The references, which have not been previously disclosed, elevated the significance of the June 2016 meeting for congressional investigators, who are focused on determining whether it included any discussion of donations from Russian sources to either the Trump campaign or the Republican Party.

It is illegal for foreigners to donate to American elections. The meeting happened just as Trump had secured the Republican nomination for president, and he was considered a longshot to win. Manafort was the campaign chairman at the time.


Well at least you know they aren't destroying evidence....

I think you're the only one left who cares about this.

I might be wrong, but I kinda doubt it.

So they let this "juicy" piece of intel out, but are saving the real one for later?

In the Notes app on his iPhone. Who knows what it means. Maybe nothing. Odd thing to put if the meeting was about adoptions though.

From a legal perspective, money isn't the only thing that can be "donated"

In kind contributions are still illegal. i.e Oppo research or even hacked documents...

So your defense is that they are leaking incriminating information out faster?

Probably only Mueller's team and the Grand Jury have enough evidence to say right now.

We'll find out eventually one way or the other.

But these notes don't make sense if the meeting was only about adoptions.
