Evidence in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian collusion in the 2016 election reveals that former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders' chief strategist was in contact with a former Russian intelligence agent before joining the campaign.
Tad Devine joined Sanders' campaign in 2014 before it officially launched.
Paul Manafort, Ukrainian diplomats and Russian intelligence agents began as early as Jan. 3, 2006, and continued until no earlier than June 19, 2014, according to a list of exhibits filed in a Virginia federal court Wednesday.
Manafort, then-candidate Donald Trump's campaign chairman during the 2016 presidential election, was indicted on several charges in Mueller's investigation.
Manafort's lobbying effort was done on behalf of the Party of Regions, the pro-Russian political party led by former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.
Devine worked with Manafort in an effort to win Yanukovych - a former Communist Party member - the presidency in Ukraine, National Review reported.
Although Manafort is currently in jail and his bail was revoked for the alleged witness tampering, "The government does not intend to present at trial evidence or argument concerning collusion with the Russian government," a filing Mueller's team submitted to a federal court in Virginia on July 6 stated, The Daily Caller News Foundation reported.
