Now, congressional investigators believe Kilimnik used Deripaska’s private Gulfstream 550 jet for at least one leg of that journey, a person familiar with their findings told VICE News, confirming a report in the Guardian on Friday.
Whether Kilimnik was a passenger on Deripaska’s jet for both directions of its roundtrip between Moscow and Newark in early August 2016 remains unclear, the person said. There is “some discrepancy in the travel log” about one half of the journey, the person told VICE News.
“What knowledge did you have of any outreach ... Russia about potential assistance to the campaign?”
Deripaska has repeatedly denied “any interactions during, after, or in the run-up to the 2016 presidential elections” with Manafort, including any briefings. But congressional investigators’ assertion that Kilimnik used the oligarch’s plane for that August 2016 meeting raises fresh questions about the nature of Manafort’s relationship with Deripaska in the lead-up to the election. Federal investigators have been pouring over the details of that key period for at least two years.
