Read Manafort’s Cooperation Agreement

Paul Manafort plea agreement with federal prosecutors says he must cooperate fully in “any and all matters as to what the Government deems the cooperation relevant.”

Manafort “has already begun cooperating with Mueller,” Politico reports.

Josh Marshall: “As someone who fell for the ruse, it is almost beyond belief that they could pull this off: have reporting come out about plea negotiations but plausible claim that, and make people think that, it was a plea without any agreement to cooperate. And yet, there you have it. Pretty much they pulled it off.”

Franklin Foer: What Paul Manafort knows.

Paul Waldman: Paul Manafort has flipped. So what happens now?
