Campaign Chairman: Sex-Training Seminar and Vladimir Putin

campaign chairman: She faces criminal charges and deportation to Belarus after coming under suspicion of working in Thailand without a visa at a sex-training seminar in the city of Pattaya, according to Toronto Star. Vashukevich, who described herself as close to Russian aluminum tycoon Oleg Deripaska, said audio recordings she made in August 2016 included discussions he had about the United States presidential election with people she declined to identify. The escort, Anastasia Vashukevich, said she would hand over the recordings if the United States granted her asylum. Deripaska, a billionaire with close ties to Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, also has business ties to Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman. If America gives me protection, I will tell everything I know, Vashukevich said Monday. Manafort is under investigation by Robert Mueller, the special counsel looking into the campaign's connections to Russia. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
