Paul Manafort: Trump Ex-Aide Lied to Prosecutors, Judge Rules

Paul Manafort worked for the Trump presidential campaign for five months in 2016 and was in charge when President Trump won the Republican party nomination. US District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ruled that Paul Manafort "made multiple false statements" to the FBI, Mr. Mueller's office and a grand jury. This means that Paul Manafort could now get a harsher sentence or have charges against him re-filed. The plea deal he originally agreed to with Mueller said that Manafort would spend up to 10 years in prison and would lose four of his properties and several bank accounts.
