The material also appears to show that Andy Wigmore, spokesman for the Leave.EU campaign and the business partner of Arron Banks, the biggest funder of Brexit, passed confidential legal documents to high-ranking officials at the Russian embassy and then denied it to parliament.
The documents related to George Cottrell, an aide to Nigel Farage who was with him on the campaign trail for Donald Trump in July 2016. Cottrell was arrested by the FBI and charged with 21 counts of money laundering, bribery and wire fraud.
Damian Collins, chair of the culture, media and sport select committee, said that Banks and Wigmore appeared to have misled parliament and what we really need to know is why. He added: It makes you question whose side they are on.
Nigel Farage is close with Trump and Roger Stone. He's been to Mar-a-lago and spoken at Republican events.
This is getting bigger and bigger. If Russia intervened in Brexit too, does that need to be redone? And what links to Trump and bannon are there?
