Ex-Trump manager lied to Russia probe
Print Edition
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort intentionally lied to investigators and a federal grand jury in the special counsel鈥檚 Russia probe, a judge has ruled.
US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson鈥檚 decision was another loss for Manafort, a once-wealthy political consultant who now faces years in prison in two criminal cases brought in special counsel Robert Mueller鈥檚 investigation.
The judge found that Manafort did mislead the FBI, prosecutors and a federal grand jury about his interactions with Konstantin Kilimnik, the co-defendant who the FBI says has ties to Russian intelligence.
Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissmann said one of the discussions at an August 2, 2016, meeting at the Grand Havana Room club in New York went to the 鈥渓arger view of what we think is going on鈥 and what 鈥渨e think the motive here is.鈥
鈥淭his goes, I think, very much to the heart of what the Special Counsel鈥檚 Office is investigating,鈥 Weissmann said
Kilimnik is believed to be in Moscow.
