Newly released memos from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation shed light on communications between Trump's former campaign chairman and the Fox News host.
Former Donald Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort said Fox News host Sean Hannity was his “back channel” to the White House while Manafort was being investigated for financial crimes, according to newly released documents obtained by BuzzFeed News.
The memos from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election were obtained through a freedom of information request, and contain summaries of FBI witness interviews. The memo said that Manafort understood that if he wanted to send a message to Trump he could go through one of their mutual friends, like former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie or businessman Tom Barrack , but he chose not to do so.
