Latest on “The Investigation”: Former Trump campaign aide Michael Caputo says president may be “trying to goad the Democrats into wanting to impeach him…it probably won't end well for the Democrats.” 🎧:
Former Trump campaign aide Michael Caputo,, who has been tangled up for years in multiple probes into Russian election meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, said he felt he was"on his own" throughout the several-years-long investigations.
"This is a singular, individual, lonely road to travel. I didn't know that the president was paying attention," he said. Caputo has worked in politics going back to the Reagan administration, including on the 1992 presidential campaign of George H.W. Bush. In the 1990s, Caputo lived in Russia while working for then-President Boris Yeltsin and the Kremlin. And in 2001, for two weeks, Caputo worked in the U.S. for an energy company with ties to current Russian President Vladimir Putin.
What struck Caputo most, he said, was how closely the president has clearly been following the investigation and its impact on people drawn into it from his former campaign's orbit.Stone has described Caputo as his"protégé." Caputo and Stone met in the mid-1980s when Caputo worked at Stone's lobbying firm, Black, Manafort, and Stone, as Stone's driver. In 2015, Stone brought Caputo on with him to serve in the nascent days of Trump's presidential run.
