Mueller's office said in an April 2 court filing that any investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia "would naturally cover ties that a former Trump campaign manager had to Russian-associated political operatives, Russian-backed politicians, and Russian oligarchs."
"It would also naturally look into any interactions they may have had before and during the campaign to plumb motives and opportunities to coordinate and to expose possible channels for surreptitious communications," it added. "And prosecutors would naturally follow the money trail from Manafort's Ukrainian consulting activities. Because investigation of those matters was authorized, so was prosecution."
Manafort and Kilimnik met in May and August during the 2016 campaign.
Three days before his August meeting with Manafort, Kilimnik wrote in an email to the Trump campaign chairman that he had "met today with the guy who gave you your biggest black caviar jar several years ago," a reference to Deripaska's previous loans to Manafort. "We spent about 5 hours talking about his story, and I have several important messages from him to you," he wrote.
"I need about two hours because it is a long caviar story to tell," he added.
Manafort said he and Kilimnik discussed the Trump campaign and the recent hack of the Democratic National Committee during the August 2, 2016 meeting. Kilimnik, meanwhile, said they did not discuss the campaign, but talked about "current news" and "unpaid bills."
Within hours of the meeting, a private jet linked to Deripaska arrived in Newark, New Jersey, which is close to where Manafort and Kilimnik met. It left within 24 hours.
Manafort was also one of three Trump campaign officials to meet with two Russian lobbyists offering kompromat on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in June 2016.
