CNN’s Pamela Brown on Manafort Sharing Polling Data with Russian: ‘It’s a Major Acknowledgment’

EXCERPT:

BROWN: "It’s a major acknowledgement, Wolf, that was inadvertently revealed in these redactions. And it's the biggest window yet into what Robert Mueller is looking at in terms of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians. Of course, this raises the question why. Why was the Trump campaign chairman at the time, Paul Manafort, sharing this sensitive polling data with a man who has links to Russian intel? What would the campaign get out of that? What were the Russians getting out of that? This is the first public acknowledgement of possible coordination between a Trump campaign official and the Russian government. Remember, this is happening during a time that Russian government operatives were allegedly hacking Democrat computers to release information that would help Trump and launching a social media campaign to sway voters to Trump’s side. So Robert Mueller presumably is looking into whether this is all connected."
