New Report Reveals Manafort Allegedly Lied to Mueller Team About Business Dealings
Paul Manafort‘s plea deal with Robert Mueller‘s office imploded this week over what the special counsel said were lies from Manafort himself.
And now we have some details on what Manafort may have lied about.
Per the Wall Street Journal, Manafort lied about his business dealings and about his communications with Konstantin Kilimnik:
Mr. Kilimnik, who Mr. Mueller charged earlier this year along with Mr. Manafort with trying to influence the testimony of two witnesses against Mr. Manafort, had worked for Mr. Manafort’s lobbying firm in Ukraine. Messrs. Manafort and Kilimnik communicated earlier this year about contacting others who worked with them in an alleged effort to coordinate their stories, according to an indictment Mr. Mueller filed against them…
In his conversations with Mr. Mueller’s team, Mr. Manafort also allegedly misrepresented information about payments he received related to his lobbying work, the people familiar with the matter said.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump declined to comment on the record about Manafort to The Washington Post, but today he told the New York Post a pardon isn’t off the table yet.
