Sen. [[John McCain]] met twice with Oleg Deripaska, whose [[visa[[ was blocked by the United States amidst intelligence community concerns. The meetings were arranged by Paul Manafort and his lobbying firm partner Rick Davis, who later became McCain's campaign manager. Davis was McCain's campaign manager in both 2000 and 2008.
In the mid-2000s Davis connected with Deripaska. At the time, the Davis-Manafort firm was advising with pro-Russian political figures in Ukraine and also doing work in [[Montenegro]], another former Soviet satellite that Putin was trying to influence.
During the 2008 campaign, the Davis Manafort firm disclosed through its U.S. partner Daniel J. Edelman Inc., that it was working for the political party in Ukraine supporting Ukrainian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych, who was backed by Putin. "Davis Manafort International LLC is directed by a foreign political party, the Ukraine Parties of Regions, to consult on the political campaign in Ukraine," the January 2008 Foreign Agent Registration Act filing showed. The work included developing "a communications campaign to increase Prime Minister Yanukovych's visibility in the U.S. and [[Europe]]," the report added, indicating that Davis and Manafort were being paid a $35,000 a month retainer for the work that began in spring 2007. Manafort was first questioned by the FBI about his Russian and Ukrainian ties in 2014 while working with the McCain campaign, two years before he became Trump's campaign manager, and agents probed him on how he first came to work for Deripaska through McCain's top political adviser, Davis.<ref>https://archive.is/Elc7K</ref>
