Just hours after former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was charged in court filings by the Mueller investigation, President Trump unleashed a series of bitter tweets criticizing Mueller and the investigation, claiming that it is “ruining lives” according to NBC News. Manafort failed to comply with the terms of his plea agreement by lying to investigators “on a variety of subject matters.”
Mueller’s federal court filing in Washington D. C. on Monday night did not lay out specifics of Manafort’s alleged prevarications, but said that the Special Counsel would “file a detailed sentencing submission to the Probation Department and the Court in advance of sentencing that sets forth the nature of the defendant’s crimes and lies, including those after signing the plea agreement herein.” Additionally, Mueller’s filing also states that Manafort’s failed cooperation relieves the special counsel of its obligations in the plea agreement, which included a reduction in Manafort’s prison sentence.
