US President Donald Trump’s former campaign chair and convention manager, Paul Manafort, has started providing documents to the Senate Judiciary Committee as part of the probe into possible Russian meddling in last year’s election.
Republican senator and panel head, Chuck Grassley, said in a statement on Tuesday that Manafort has also agreed to continue negotiating over a transcribed interview.
It comes after the Senate Judiciary Committee withdrew its subpoena compelling Manafort to testify, saying he had begun to cooperate.
Manafort and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, are at the center of an investigation about meetings they and other campaign officials had with a Russian lawyer last year.
Kushner earlier denied any collusion with Russia.
