Trump confidant Roger Stone had communications with Julian Assange and Gucifer 2.0, the hacker believed by the U.S. government to be affiliated with Russia.
Republican operative Peter Smith who claimed to have connections with senior people on the Trump campaign such as Michael Flynn, recruited cyber security experts to try to get in touch with Russian hackers in an effort to obtain Hillary Clinton's emails.
Russians reached out to Donald Trump Junior to help the campaign by providing dirt on Hillary, and he, Manafort and Kushner met with them.
Campaign chair Paul Manafort reached out to a friend of Putin's (Oleg Derapaska) and offered to provide him with briefings on the campaign.
Update: George Papadopolous, a member of 45's foreign policy advisory panel was offered dirt on Hillary by the Russians, including thousands of her stolen emails.
He sent emails concerning Vladimir Putin to at least seven campaign officials, and made six requests for Trump or representatives of his campaign to meet in Russia with Russian politicians, including one request made in person at a meeting where both 45 and Jeff Sessions were present.
He has now plead guilty to lying to federal investigators about this and is 'actively cooperating' with their investigation.
