You have already heard about the Paul Manafort's dealings with the Ukraine, but one element has been added this week. That was the hiring of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in 2012 to work for the Ukraine government. Politico says today, "The settlement doesn’t name the Skadden partner, but it appears to be Greg Craig, a former White House counsel under President Barack Obama who led the Ukraine work."
This article also points out that when Skadden, Arps was asked to file as an agent of a foreign government, they said they weren't. Now they will register, after seven years and the prosecution by the Mueller team of Lawyer Alex van der Zwaan who pleaded guilty last year to lying to the FBI about the firm’s work for Ukraine.
