MSNBC Terrorism Analyst Malcolm Nance weighed in on Saturday’s “AM Joy” on former Donald Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who is being investigated as part of a broad investigation into alleged corruption in Ukraine, saying the investigation could turn into a counterintelligence investigation about whether there were Russian agents.
“This story has yet to even open up,” said Nance. “The fact that Manafort resigned, and now we find out there’s a federal investigation, wait until this moves on to a counterintelligence investigation to where they may suspect that someone was an agent of influence or actually a directly handled agent of Russia, and we’ve already seen there’s been reporting that one of Paul Manafort’s associates was a Russian translator who may have, in fact, been an FSB/KGB agent.”
