Kiev, Ukraine (CNN) A Ukrainian human rights attorney representing the victims of mass police shootings in Kiev in 2014 has asked prosecutors to investigate what are purported to be the hacked text messages of one of Paul Manafort's daughters, saying the texts point to possible influence Manafort had with Ukraine's president during that period.
Paul Manafort currently faces an FBI investigation over millions of dollars' worth of payments he allegedly received while working as a political strategist for Ukraine's Russia-backed president, Viktor Yanukovych. Manafort has denied receiving the undeclared cash payments.
Thursday, the human rights lawyer, Eugenia Zakrevska, filed a motion in Kiev requesting that prosecutors verify the contents of the text message dump and take measures to compel US authorities to question Manafort.
The text messages, if genuine, shed light both on the last days of the Yanukovych regime in Ukraine and a turbulent period in the Trump campaign last summer, when Trump shook up his team's leadership structure.
Paul Manafort. Paul Manafort is a political consultant who served as a campaign manager of presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2016. He was later indicted for money laundering and conspiracy against the United States.
He was later indicted for money laundering and conspiracy against the United States.
Manafort grew up in New Britain, where his father, Paul J. Manafort Sr., served three terms as mayor. He attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School. In 1971, Manafort graduated with a degree in business administration from Georgetown University; he received his law degree from the same school in 1974.
A report by NBC News in October 2017 stated that Deripaska's known business dealings with Manafort added up to approximately $60 million.
The Washington Post reported in September 2017 that while Manafort was working on the Trump campaign he reached out, via an intermediary, to offer Deripaska "private briefings" on the presidential race. There is no evidence such briefings occurred.
Manafort began to work for Ukraine's Viktor Yanukovych and his Party of Regions after questions of electoral fraud (and the poisoning of an opponent) led to the country's highest court annulling a Yanukovych victory in the 2004 Ukrainian presidential election.
Manafort offered his services for free, which was unusual for him. Though he'd been introduced to Trump by mutual acquaintance Roy Cohn in 1979 or 1980, and had purchased a condominium in New York City's Trump Tower in 2006, Manafort wasn't close to the candidate.

Paul Manafort’s former son-in-law was sentenced to more than nine years in prison Friday for a wide-ranging series of fraud schemes ...
As District Judge André Birotte Jr. imposed the sentence of nine years and two months on Jeffrey Yohai, the judge blasted the would-be real estate developer as a serial scammer whose “horrific” crimes posed a significant threat to the public, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles said.
Yohai pleaded guilty to a array of brazen frauds, including renting out luxury homes without the permission of their owners, selling nonexistent backstage passes for the Coachella music festival, and pawning band equipment that belonged to someone else.
Among those swindled by Yohai is the award-winning actor Dustin Hoffman and Guy Aroch, a prominent photographer, both of whom invested millions in real estate deals with Yohai. Some of Yohai’s frauds were carried out while he was on bond after pleading guilty in a real estate fraud case nearly two years ago.
Prosecutors, who charged that Yohai’s scams totaled more than $13 million, asked that he receive a 15-year prison term. The sentence the judge imposed was substantially shorter but still lengthy for a financial fraud. He ordered a total of $6.7 million in restitution.
Yohai’s sentence is about a 1½ years longer than the term his former father-in-law received on tax and fraud convictions from a jury trial in Virginia last year as well as two guilty pleas that were part of a deal to avert a second trial in Washington on charges of money-laundering, obstruction of justice, and being an unregistered foreign agent.
Manafort and Yohai initially asked the bank for $5 million to finance their plan. The bank wound up lending $1 million, which it later sued to get back. Yohai was mentioned at the trial, but did not testify. He was not charged in the Virginia case.
The details being revealed as part of the government’s case against former Skadden counsel Greg Craig are getting juicy.
