WASHINGTON — Former Trump campaign official Paul Manafort is in hot-water this morning as reports continue to emerge of his violation of agreement(s) with federal authorities. Manafort, ehum, is already facing multiple felony charges related to his political consultancy work in the Ukraine (something he failed to disclose to the government when he took on the job with Trump).
Now, Time Magazine, reports that Manafort has found himself in even more trouble. Robert Mueller’s special counsel has reportedly suggested to prosecutors that Manafort remain on house arrest after the discovery of a top secret op-ed he tried to write with the help of the Russians. Prosecuting documents claim that Mueller’s team managed to unmask a Russian spy who (as early as last week) tried to help Manafort pen an op-ed about his work in the Ukraine.
An op-ed that would, per the documents, “make Manafort amppear much more plausible than normal”. Now, officials say that Manafort is looking at some pretty serious consequences and “that we are seeking that he remain on house arrest entirely until a full agreement has been reached”.
