Russia discussed info that could damage Trump: CNN

According to CNN, Russian officials discussed information that was "derogatory" towards Donald Trump and his associates during the 2016 campaign. From the CNN article:

Russian government officials discussed having potentially "derogatory" information about then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and some of his top aides in conversations intercepted by US intelligence during the 2016 election, according to two former intelligence officials and a congressional source.

One source described the information as financial in nature and said the discussion centered on whether the Russians had leverage over Trump's inner circle. The source said the intercepted communications suggested to US intelligence that Russians believed "they had the ability to influence the administration through the derogatory information."

Well, if the information is financial in natura, it may refer to Paul Manafort's dealings with Russia. Or about Michael Flynn's payments from Russia. Or, to money paid to Trump by Russia.

To be honest, when I read the CNN headline I thought they were talking about the "golden shower" tape. Oh well...
