Paul Manafort, who guided President Trump’s campaign through the tumultuous Republican National Convention in 2016, faces a potentially stiff prison sentence for a raft of financial crimes that were prosecuted by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.
since last summer, when Jackson revoked his bail after ruling he had reached out to potential witnesses in the case.
In the Virginia trial, prosecutors detailed how Manafort used a network of offshore bank accounts and other schemes to avoid paying millions of dollars in federal income taxes. Mueller’s team initially focused on Manafort as part of its investigation into whether Trump’s campaign conspired with a Russian intelligence operation that sought to sway the 2016 election to Trump, using stolen emails and disinformation on social media.
Before the meeting, when an intermediary’s email said the lawyer would present dirt on Clinton “as part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump,” Trump Jr. replied, “If it’s what you say I love it.”
