The FBI seems to believe so.
Keep in mind there are two sources of information here - what the FBI knows, and what the press has uncovered. The FBI / Muller investigation hasn't told us told us anything, so we have to rely on what the press has uncovered. The Guardian seems to have a "well placed source" which is backed up by documents from Ecuador’s Senain intelligence agency. However, it's safe to assume the FBI knows a lot more.
Then factor in reality. We already know the CIA / NSA tracks every person ever walking into a foreign embassy in any country, so it's safe to assume the CIA / NSA / Whomever already knew Manafort had visisted Julian on multiple occasions. Also.... It's difficult enough to leave the country (Meaning leaving the US) unnoticed, but no matter what.... Plane flights are involved, and somewhere along the line someone had to have paid for all of this. That money either came directly from Manafort (unlikely if he was trying to conceal these trips), the Trump campaign, Wikileaks, or someone in Russia. No matter who paid for it, it's not going to be difficult to track.
It's insane watching this unfold. The chairman of the Trump campaign was working directly with Wikileaks to release information hacked by the Russian government.
