'Manafort held secret consultations with Assange'

london - Paul Manafort had secret talks with Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London. The former campaign manager of Donald Trump sought the founder of WikiLeaks according to the British newspaper The Guardian in 2013, 2015 and in the spring of 2016.

It is unclear what the two have talked about. Their last meeting, according to the sources of the British newspaper in March, is especially interesting because Manafort was a key figure in the Trump race to the White House. A few months later, WikiLeaks published a series of Democratic e-mails that had been stolen by Russian intelligence officers. In it, former candidate Hillary Clinton got off badly.
