hard to do with paul manafort.der to do especially when you've got kelly ann conway as campaign manager. david axelrod now kelly ann conway. so i think they left on good terms, it's a handshake, a fair well, be well and go with grace. and for anyone who wants to get back on message of making the clintons the centerpiece of the campaign. >> so hugh, had it not been for this news over the past few days, past few weeks and to a certain extent of manafort's connection to these russian and ukrainian oligarchs, some of these questionable business dealings, had it not been for reports of that, would manafort still be the campaign chair? >> i don't know, craig. it's -- imponderable. i just know as a supporter of a republican wind, i know it's hard to talk -- in fact, came up today. i was talking with one of my guests about gilbert she guerriery, billionaire -- secretary clinton state department. it's hard to talk about that without soming back to you and say manafort and ukraine is pretty stinky too. and that made it a ver

manafort calls the questions silly. meanwhile, hillary clinton rolls out the big guns in her war on trump. >> no major party nominee in the history of the united states of america has -- don't cheer. quiet. just listen. -- has known less or been less prepared to deal with our national security than donald trump. >> want to get right to the questions about paul manafort and his work in ukraine. cnn's senior investigative correspondent is drew griffin. he joins us now live. so drew, donald trump said a lot of nice things about vladimir putin and made controversial statements about russia and ukraine. trump's campaign manager, paul manafort, is in the news because his name came up in connection with a corruption scandal in ukraine. tell us what you know about this. >> real quick backgrounder for those of us who don't follow ukraine politics. paul manafort worked for this party of regions in ukraine for many, many years, don. that party eventually took control of the government under president yanukovych and it fell apart.

kalyuzhny, signed nine times for manafort items. kalyuzhny is a member of ath nonprofit company that allegedly funneled over $1 million to a d.c. lobby firm to promote the pro-russian agenda of yanukovych. we should point out, scott, that sergi leschenko and his anticorruption team have every reason to want to see donald trump defeated this election because of his support for russia, which is currently at war with ukraine. >> pelley: charlie d'agata reporting for us tonight from kiev. the clinton campaign is hoping to put a controversy behind it. julianna goldman reports that the charitable clinton foundation says it will no longer accept foreign or corporate money if hillary clinton is elected. >> reporter: of the nearly 40 top donors that have givendo $5 million or more to thent clinton foundation, over half are foreign entities, individuals or governments, including saudi arabia and kuwait. the donations have led to questions about potential conflicts of interest when hillary clinton was secretary of state and if she were to beco

manafort is a pro. he knows how to do this.e told trump what he wanted to do and trump believed in him at one point. but every time he tried to modulate or modulate -- moderate, trump was guided by his better instincts. we learned that. another thing we learned is paul manafort's connections with pro-russian ukrainian forces were damaging to trump, particularly in combination with trump's miscues in terms of turning against the gold star family. trump is now in a position where they felt they needed -- he felt he needed to do this to salvage his prospects. falla: trump is able to prey to the same staff problems of hillary clinton or any other traditional candidate would be if your staffers are doing things they should not be doing a get caught with their hand in the cookie jar. the same way mark penn did with hillary clinton's campaign in 2008. margaret: donald trump wants to focus on donald trump. in this case, he did not want the focus to become about paul manafort. now the question is, is the focus want to stay on donald tru

are you happy to see manafort out? >> i'm not surprised, and i don't think any of us really are surprised. i'm not going to try to pretend to be clairvoyant here. if your boss goes out and hires someone and gives them the exact same job description as the job you already have, it's probably time to start looking at real estate in florida. now, that being said, he came in and did his job. paul manafort is an expert on delegate counting. we had all these stories that ted cruz was planning on kinds of hijinks at the republican convention. ted cruz was not successful. donald trump walked out of the convention as the republican nominee. so his job is complete. and now it's time to transition into the general election where you bring new people in. people like conway, who's used to running these general election campaigns. and that's the new goal. you have a new goal now. the goal is no longer the convention, the goal is the general. >> i want to ask you the same question. just your thoughts, why not have manafort -- maybe a

but the biggest entries simply state, "manafort payment," or "contract." investigators say they consider any off-the-book payments to be illegal. but it's still unclear if any were actually made, and manafort anticorruption campaigner sergi leschenko says a closer is warranted. >> he has to be interrogated. he has to be under investigation. this is, of course, up to american judges and up to american judicial system. >> reporter: manafort has left open the possibility that payments were made to his u.s. firm or colleagues. leschenko says while manafort's signature doesn't appear in the ledger, a former party member, vitaly kalyuzhny, kalyuzhny is a member of a nonprofit company that allegedly funneled over $1 million to a d.c. lobby firm to promote the pro-russian agenda of yanukovych. we should point out, scott, that sergi leschenko and his anticorruption team have every reason to want to see donald trump defeated this election because of his support for russia, which is currently at war with ukraine. >> pelley: charlie d'agata kiev. charlie, thanks. the

let's deal with manafort first. see the plane is coming to a rest shortly and we can then talk about the baton rouge visit. erica, i think, you know, manafort was clearly demoted in this process. i know earlier in the week when the campaign shake-up happened, kelly anne conway was talking about how there were the four core people and that this was just an expansion and adding two. but paul manafort was clearly side lined in this process, even though he had retained that title of chairman. as you noted, these stories that have come out all week long about his work in ukraine, his russian ties, that clearly was starting to become a distraction, as our sources tell dana bash, paul manafort said i don't want to be a distraction. when you combine the fact he was becoming a distraction or at least he thought so, according to our sources, and he had been side lined, getting out of the way completely clearly made the most sense here. i do think what you're seeing, though, when you see donald trump l.a. night trying out a ch

to paul manafort with denials from mr.oney changed hands, that anything was improper. it is a cardinal rule that a staffer should not overshadow the candidate. but mr. trump generally speaking is very loyal when it comes to his people. >> i way that is of concern here is not whether or not mr. manafort was paid for cash or check, paid by political party or government what is the real concern is donald trump acting against or arguing against decades decades -- and i that i abandoning that plan and trying to make an ally out of a former kgb agent running russia is a dangerous, dangerous idea. >> howie, since you're former policy adviser, i will give you the chance to respond. there are lot of people in this town that feel trump sounds way too pro putin. >> i would get back to the original focus of the speech is how do we attack isis? russian aspect is one part of it. this is about tackling this huge problem that clinton and obama foreign policy team have not -- they caused the rise of isis and he is going after, as best he c

manafort could easily deny it. so, you know, even lower down in the story the investigators had said there was no proof he actually received the money. so that kind of brings us back to why is this news? well, this is news because of what we knew previously which is there is a relationship between these two men that is troubling in and of itself because who yanukoyvich is. >> you know, a lot of people in the press jump to the conclusion, amy, that it was these stories about the russian ties and the ukrainian relationship that sunk paul manafort. i'm told by my sources that donald trump while not happy about that distraction was much more upset with the story we talked about last sunday which was big leaky "new york times" piece, his own advisor saying donald trump is not coachable and perhaps concluded manafort's were fairly on that piece. >> well, i wouldn't be surprised if that was the case that donald trump did not like having these leaks in the press that he can't be tamed. but i think getting back to the russi

what do you make of what paul manafort said?acts in the story are what they are. as drew mentioned, the ledger shows 22 payments over five-year period that are related to mr. manafort's name. who the money went to is not clear. it's the analogy of a bookmaker. >> they were calling a black ledger. it was found in one of the presidential offices, right? >> correct. basically, you know, they probably had two sets of books, one showed to the tax people and another with cash payments in it. so, the question is, did this money go to mr. manafort, to his firm, to his associates. >> he was helping the guy who became president get re-elected, organize the campaign election, stuff like that, which is why he said he never worked for the government itself. he was working for the campaign. is it possible, if the campaigns were made, they were legitimate payments for work done on a campaign? >> anything is possible. but, i mean, the question is, why were they cash payments? and how do those payments or that sum of money relate to the actual m

manafort could deny it. so lower in the story the investigator said this was in proof he received the money and it writes us, why is this news? it is news because of what we knew previously that there is a relationship between these two men that is troubling because of who this man is. >> a lot of people in the press jump to the conclusions it was the stories of the russian ties and the ukraine relationship that sunk paul manafort but i am told that donald trump while not happy about that was more upset about leaky "new york times" tease "inside the failed mission to tame donald trump organization his advisors saying he is not coachable and france he findinged the finger prints of manafort were on that piece. >> i would not be surprised in that is case because donald trump does not like leaks that he cannot be tamed. back to the russian story, part of what fueled the media coverage of that is it dovetailed with the vladimir putin and donald trump bromance and the kind words they have for each other. you noti

since manafort resigned, there is a lot of nexus between manafort and the kremlin and sue crane. that's true or not, it will be interesting to see what trump's foreign policy is now that manafort has left the campaign. that's hillary clinton's sweet spot. she has the chops to discuss foreign policy. charles: the world has not improved when she was there and since she left. come on, now. you think she wants to talk about that? >> let's -- >> i agree with you on that. charles: when the liberal websites say fox business used witch hunt and hillary in the same sentence, it was jessica tarlov, not me. innocent victims have been slaughtered in syria for a long time. and the image this week of the 5-year-old boy who was saved but suffered mighty damages. this might actually change the world.

is it paul manafort frustrated with the candidate or the candidate frustrated with manafort? >> well it's a little bit of both in states where they typically lean republican, you're seeing closer and closer numbers between donald trump and hillary clinton. now, because of this, there was tension between paul manafort and donald trump. so much so that sources tell cnn that they felt that there might be a shake-up. that a shake-up was imminent. and that they heard that paul manafort and donald trump were both telling friends about the friction within their relationship. all leading to this shake-up. and this is the second big shake-up that the campaign has had in two months. it was just barely two months ago, we were sitting here talking about how trump had ousted his campaign manager corey lewandowski. so now her we are again, we were told at that point that paul manafort would assume that role as well as chairman. but now he's brought in kelley anne conway as the campaign manager a long time associate of trump and mike pence. and steve bannon, also a longtime associate of don

interestingly, paul manafort though has, campaign sources telling our cnn dana bash, that paul manafort told donald trump that manafort said, look, i've been becoming a distraction here and i want this to end, that leading in part to the resignation. the clinton campaign hasn't wasted any time coming out with a statement about this resignation. they say that the resignation itself will not eliminate the questions about the ties between trump and putin. in fact using some flowery language saying that this doesn't end this strange bromance has trump has going on with vladimir putin. >> jessica, thank you in dimondale, ahead of his rally there. rosa flores has been in louisiana for days as we've all been covering the disaster. you were wading in water, now you are standing in front of a number of items that were all donated by mr. trump? >> reporter: you're absolutely right, brooke. one of the officials here told me during an interview that donald trump had donated an 18-wheeler full of stuff. of course, my cure yo is it, here we go. let me show you all of this stuff. this 18-wheeler we ar
