Special counsel Robert Mueller has accused Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman, of lying about his contacts with administration officials in 2018 and at least four other details related to his probe of Russian election meddling during the 2016 campaign.
In a heavily redacted court document filed Friday afternoon, Mueller and his team of prosecutors accused Manafort of lying about his interactions with Konstantin Kilimnik, a longtime business associate whom the special counsel has identified as a former Russian intelligence officer.
Manafort, according to the special counsel's team also lied about money laundering, a wire-transfer to a firm that was working for him, "information pertinent to another department of Justice investigation," and his contact with administration officials.
Kilimnik was indicted alongside Manafort in June. He has not submitted a plea.
Early last week Manafort’s cooperation agreement fell apart when prosecutors in the Washington D.C. case accused Manafort of breaching his plea agreement by lying during interviews after agreeing to “broad” cooperation with the special counsel’s probe. The special counsel’s office asked the judge to proceed with scheduling a sentencing date.

$40 million, how much wall does that buy?
I wonder if they know he was lying because Trump detailed his contacts with Manafort in his written answers.
Funny. That is what I was thinking!
...and you know this how?
There are two reports for Cohen. One from SDNY and another from Mueller. The Mueller one says he co-operating and they recommend minimal time and yes, collusion is mentioned they call it “synergy” in the report. It says in the report that Cohen’s testimony is the same regarding this matter as others in the whitehouse.
As long as Mueller keeps feeding the media with redactions and accusations, the great Mueller cover for Hillary and Obama rolls on.
Why would anyone talk to an official as corrupt and vindictive as Robert Mueller? I could not reliably remember the dates on which I talked with various people either. If an imperfect memory (or one too inflexible to give the testimony you’ve been coached by the Spanish Inquisition’s leadership to give) is an indictable felony, I’m taking the Fifth Amendment in response to all questions.
Going into 2020, a failed impeachment would do the 'Rats such a world of good!
Bring it on!
