This program is about President Trumpâs connections to Russia, and in particular, Paul Manafort. Manafort was the manager of Trumpâs 2016 Presidential campaign until he abruptly quit two and a half months before the election.
Our guest, Andrew Kramer (https://www.nytimes.com/by/andrew-e-kramer), has been reporting from Moscow for the New York Times since 2006. Â
In our conversation, we ask: who is Paul Manafort, where did he come from, and how did he became Trumpâs campaign manager? What aspects of Manafortâs longtime relationships with Russian leaders and President Trump might be revealed in the pending hearings conducted by the House of Representatives' Intelligence Committee? In addition, we discuss the recent non-permitted demonstrations that occurred in Russia.Â
Barry Vogel, attorney and counselor, is the host and creator of Radio Curious. The assistant producer is Angie Voyles Askham.
