The daughter of former Donald Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort appears to have been hacked, which has revealed odd texts sent to her cell phone that could represent an attempt to blackmail her father.

Manafort confirmed receiving the messages, which referenced his consulting work in Ukraine included what sounds like a threat.

The communications allegedly come from the iPhone of Manafort's daughter, Politico reported, and if legitimate reveal a shakedown attempt related to his dealings in Ukraine, with a threat to go to the authorities unless they could 'work things out.'

A message, which was attached to a text sent to the phone, purports to be from Ukrainian parliamentarian Serhiy Leshchenko, who in the message is trying to meet with Manafort.

Leshchenko has denied any connection to the messages.

Former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort confirmed that texts hacked from his daughter's phone were authentic

'Considering all the facts and evidence that are in my possession, and before possible decision whether to pass this to [Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Bureau] or FBI I would like to get your opinion on this and maybe your way to work things out that will persuade me to do otherwise,” according to the note sent to Manafort's daughter.

The note, which contains numerous spelling errors, begins: 'At the time of my investigation I have discovered bulletproof facts regarding the person – Ukraine resident whos signature is inside the Yanukovich accounting book and who is responsible for rendering assets to you personally for your consulting services during organized meetings.'

The passage may refer to alleged cash payments to Manafort for his work for a Ukrainian political party.

The New York Times reported in August on a ledger that showed $12.7 million in cash payments for Manafort. Manafort denied getting any such payments at the time.

Manafort says he turned over the messages to his lawyer. The messages purported to be from a Ukrainian official

Ukrainian journalist and member of parliament Serhiy Leshchenko holds pages showing allegedly signings of payments to Donald Trump's presidential campaign chairman Paul Manafort from an illegal shadow accounting book of the party of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych during a press conference in Kiev on August 19, 2016. He denies sending the messages

The note also references 'One of such meetings with Donadl [stet] Trump took place on 06.17.20 with close Yanukovich affiliate – governor of Cherkassy – Mr.S.Tulub.' in a reference to Ukrainian official Serhiy Tulub.

The note is signed 'Sergii.'

A series of texts to Manafort's daughter are even more explicit.

“I need to get in touch with Paul i need to share some important information with him regarding ukraine investigation,' reads one, which Politico reports came from a different number.

'I actually have proofs that he received money,' according to the texts.

'If I don’t get any reply from you iam gonaa pass it on to the fbi and ukrainian authorities including media,' the sender wrote.

'As soon as he comes back to me i will pass you documents.”

Manafort confirmed the hacked texts, but denied having set up a meeting between Trump and the Ukrainian Tulub in 2012. He said he turned the information over to his lawyer when he got it.

Leschenko told the publication he has nothing to do with the addresses linked to the purported shakedown, and wrote on Facebok the correspondence is 'obviously fake."
