Judge rules ex-Trump campaign chairman intentionally lies
    2019-02-15  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A FEDERAL judge ruled Wednesday that U.S. President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort intentionally lied to special counsel Robert Mueller’s office, breaking his plea agreement.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson wrote that Manafort “made multiple false statements to the FBI, the OSC and the grand jury concerning matters that were material to the investigation” into interference by Russia in the 2016 presidential election, when he worked for Trump.

Jackson’s ruling stated that Muller’s office had established “by a preponderance of the evidence” that Manafort intentionally lied in four out of five instances that it had laid out in December.

She ruled that Manafort made false statements that were “material” to another Department of Justice investigation, lied about money he received for legal fees and lied about whether he was in contact with Trump administration officials as recently as the beginning of 2018, nearly two years after he resigned as campaign chairman.

Mueller also accused Manafort of lying when he said associate Konstantin Kilimnik was not involved in witness tampering after Manafort’s indictment in 2017. Mueller has accused Kilimnik of having ties to Russian intelligence and the hacking of Democrats during the 2016 campaign. (SD-Agencies)
