Hillary Clinton’s top campaign official may have dodged a requirement to disclose some of the compensation he received from a tech firm connected to the Kremlin by diverting shares in the company to his daughter in California, documents published by WikiLeaks revealed.

Campaign chairman John Podesta dumped more than 33,000 shares in Joule Global Holdings by transferring it to Leonidio Holdings LLC, run by his daughter, Megan Rouse, according to a Jan. 3, 2014 transfer letter he retained in his personal Gmail account. Podesta served as a White House advisor to President Obama from Jan. 2014 to Feb. 2015, during which he was required to file financial disclosure forms.
