Friday Court Filing Could Provide Lots Of Details About Mueller Investigation
Robert Mueller and his investigative team have a Friday deadline to explain why Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, was accused of lying to investigators and breaking his cooperation deal. This filing will answer a lot of lingering questions.
In another filing, Mueller’s office and New York state federal prosecutors must provide memos to recommend a sentence for Michael Cohen. These filings are likely to provide details about the extent of Cohen’s cooperation with investigators, according to CNN.
Michael Cohen was Trump’s personal attorney for about 12 years. He admitted that he lied in his 2017 testimony to Congress about when communication with Russia stopped on the Trump Tower real estate deal. He also said that during the campaign, he had a 20-minute conversation with an official at the Kremlin to get the Russian government’s aid in securing funding for the project.
