On 30 July 2016 Bruce Ohr, Nellie Ohr, Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson had breakfast at the Washington Mayflower Hotel. <!--Also present at the breakfast meeting was a fourth individual, described by Ohr as “an associate of Mr. Steele’s, another gentleman, younger fellow. I didn’t catch his name.”--> Steele told Ohr that "Paul Hauser, who was an attorney working for Oleg Deripaska, had information about Paul Manafort, that Paul Manafort had entered into some kind of business deal with Oleg Deripaska, had stolen a large amount of money from Oleg Deripaska, and that Paul Hauser was trying to gather information that would show that, you know, or give more detail about what Paul Manafort had done with respect to Deripaska.” The money relates to a failed Ukrainian cable TV project Deripaska invested money with Manafort in. Bruce Ohr called [[Andy McCabe]] immediately after the meeting.
The FBI's investigation, dubbed “[[Crossfire Hurricane]]” was formally opened the following day by FBI agent Peter Strzok.
Two weeks after that ''New York Times'' published an article entitled ''Secret Ledger in Ukraine Lists Cash for Donald Trump’s Campaign Chief.''” The article states: “Mr. Deripaska would later say he invested $18.9 million in Pericles [Manafort's company] in 2008 to complete the acquisition of Black Sea Cable. But the planned purchase—including the question of who ended up with the Black Sea assets—has since become the subject of a dispute between Mr. Deripaska and Mr. Manafort.”<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/15/us/politics/paul-manafort-ukraine-donald-trump.html</ref>
Manafort resigned as Trump's campaign chairman 5 days later.
