The new documents may revive questions about the ties between the Trump aide, Paul Manafort, and the party of the former president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, who has been in hiding in Russia since being overthrown by pro-Western protestors in 2014. He is wanted in Ukraine on corruption charges.

Meanwhile, Sean Spicer (Trump's own Baghdad Bob) threw Manafort under the bus, claiming that Manafort had very little to do with the campaign, despite the fact he was Campaign Chairman for months.
Keep in mind that Comey was forced to come to Capitol Hill and testify in public by Lindsey Graham (and others) after Trump lied about Obama wiretapping Trump. Had it not been for Trump's silly, dishonest tweet storm, Comey would not have come to the Hill and revealed that Trump and his staff are under investigation for colluding with Russia. Trump brought yesterday's dark cloud down upon himself. |
Yes, he did bring the "dark cloud" yesterday. Trump - via the Justice Dept - would have had to authorize Comey to speak yesterday about any on-going investigations.
And no, there are no shoes to drop on the salient issue - did anyone on Trump's team collude with Russia to influence the 2016 election. Your Wapo link has NOTHING to do with that question.
