Reporting cited here
- reported
Manafort resigned as Trump campaign chairman after public reporting about his work for Ukraine's pro-Russian Party of Regions and alleged off-book payments. Trump thanked him for helping the campaign. The resignation was an employment consequence, not an adjudication; later jury verdicts and guilty pleas separately established financial and lobbying crimes.
