Ex-Trump Adviser Manafort Committed New Crimes by Lying to FBI – Mueller

Since his guilty plea on September 14, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has lied to investigators, the special counsel’s office alleged in a court filing on Monday.

If it is the case that Manafort has lied, it constitutes a breach of his agreement with special counsel Robert Mueller, which required that he “fully, truthfully, completely, and forthrightly” cooperate with the government.

Prosecutors said Manafort lied to both the FBI and the special counsel’s office, which is under the Department of Justice.
