Mueller Details Manafort’s Lies

Special counsel Robert Mueller told a judge Friday that Paul Manafort told “multiple dis­cern­ible lies” during interviews with prosecutors, including about his contacts with an employee who is alleged to have ties to Russian intelligence, the Washington Post reports.

However, Mueller’s prosecutors “filed a portion of the document under seal and redacted other key points from view. But they said that Manafort had told numerous lies in five different areas, including about his contacts with Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian employee of Manafort’s political consulting firm who prosecutors have said has Russian intelligence ties.”
