PResident Trump is touting a new report suggesting that the 448-page report by special advocate Robert Mueller has left out essential information that has skewed his conclusions.
Trump, Friday morning, tweeted an article by John Solomon suggesting that Konstantin Kilimnik, a Ukrainian businessman who had worked for former Trump campaign president Paul Manafort, was not only tied to Russian intelligence services , as claimed by the Mueller Report, but US Department of State "also – a fact said by Solomon was not included in Mueller's official findings.
"John Solomon: Factual errors and major omissions in the Mueller report show that he is totally biased against Trump," Trump tweeted on Friday.
Mueller's report describes Kilimnik, a former translator of the Soviet Army, as someone whom the FBI believes has links with Russian intelligence services. Solomon claimed that this approach put every contact between Kilimnik and Manafort in an unfavorable light. Solomon added that Kilimnik had sent information to US officials since 2013 or earlier.
The February 2019 Federal Court transcripts show that Mueller's team acknowledged that they were aware of Kilimnik's discussions with the US government. Andrew Weissmann, a member of the Special Advocates team, raised the matter in the DC District Court: "There is no question that Mr. Manafort has had communications with people from the US Department of Justice. Status … I do not see how that sounds in relation to this issue in court. "
And Judge Amy Berman Jackson also addressed the issue when asked if Manafort had lied about his interactions with Kilimnik. "Whether Kilimnik is related to the Russian intelligence services or not, I think that the Office of the Special Council stated that it had been, quote, evaluated by the FBI, quoted, to have a close relationship with the Russian intelligence services.
