Ukrainian journalist and member of parliament Serhiy Leshchenko holds pages showing allegedly signings of payments to Donald Trump's presidential campaign chairman Paul Manafort from an illegal shadow accounting book of the party of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych during a press conference in Kiev on August 19, 2016.The Ukrainian authorities have released line-item entries of payments worth million of dollars that US presidential campaign hopeful Donald Trump's campaign chief allegedly received from the now-ousted Russian-backed leaders in Kiev. The revelations from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) on August 18, 2016 were followed on August 19 by claims by a top lawmaker that Paul Manafort lobbied in favour of a pro-Kremlin party even after a February 2014 pro-EU revolt had pulled Ukraine out of Russia's orbit. Manafort served as a public relations adviser to Moscow-backed president Viktor Yanukovych -- now living in self-imposed exile in Russia -- and his Regions party in the former republic between 2007 and 2012. / AFP / SERGEI SUPINSKY (Photo credit should read SERGEI SUPINSKY/AFP via Getty Images)
