Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s candidate for U.S. president, appointed a new campaign chief on Aug. 17 after details of alleged shady cash payments between his campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Ukraine’s Party of Regions were revealed.
Manafort, a former adviser to fugitive Ukrainian President Viktor
Yanukovych, remain Trump’s campaign chairman. But the move is seen as
an attempt by the candidate to distance himself from Manafort’s manifest
sleaziness.
