Manafort-Linked Russian Oligarch to CNN Reporter: ‘Get Lost Please, Thank You’

‘Fake news’

Watch a Manafort-Linked Russian Oligarch Comically Freeze Out a Relentless CNN Reporter (Mediaite)

Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, according to the Washington Post, was pretty tight with Paul Manafort — the recently-indicted former campaign chairman for President Donald Trump. The Post reports that Paul Manafort offered to personally brief Deripaska about the goings-on of the Trump campaign while he was running the show. It’s unclear whether that offer got to Deripaska (his spokesman denied that it did), but the two definitely had a relationship. Deripaska reportedly gave Manafort a $10 million annual consulting contract in 2005.

CNN’s Matthew Chance wanted to asked Deripaska about all this at the APEC summit in Vietnam on Friday. Deripaska didn’t feel like talking.

He really didn’t feel like talking.

In the video above, you can see the comical lengths to which Deripaska went to avoid talking to Chance.
