Paul Manafort has agreed to plead guilty to federal crimes at a hearing Friday morning, the Washington Post reports.
“The planned plea, if accepted by a judge, would short-circuit his second trial scheduled to begin later this month in the District on charges of money laundering and lobbying violations.”
“The details of Manafort’s plea were not immediately clear, including whether he would be providing any information to special counsel Robert Mueller as part of any deal.”
Meanwhile, the special counsel’s office has filed a superseding criminal information in the case against Manafort.
