Mueller filing: Manafort lied about contacts with Trump administration officials
Special Counsel Robert Muellers team wrote in a heavily-redacted Friday court filing that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort violated his plea agreement by making false statements to federal investigators, including about his contact with Trump administration officials as well as information pertinent to an undisclosed Justice Department investigation.
Muellers team accuses Manafort of lying about five issues: Manaforts contact with administration officials; information pertinent to another Department of Justice investigation; his interactions with Russian-Ukrainian political consultant Konstantin Kilimnik; his comments about Kilimniks alleged participation in a conspiracy to obstruct justice and a wire transfer to a firm working for Manafort.
The governments filing in Mr. Manaforts case says absolutely nothing about the president," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said. "It says even less about collusion and is devoted almost entirely to lobbying-related issues. Once again the media is trying to create a story where there isnt one.
Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani told Fox News the memos show prosecutors have nothing" on the president and "we are very happy about it."

(24,259 posts)1. Not surprised. If that bunch is talking, they're lying...
Trump, SHSanders, Ghouliani & Faux Snooze all lie so much that it's a fairly safe bet that if they say it's up, it's down. If they say it's a great deal, we're screwed. If they say innocent, it's guilty and if they say Trump is cleared, he's guilty as heck.
