BREAKING: Manafort flips

Politics: Paul Manafort's lawyers have reportedly resumed talks of a possible plea deal ahead of his second trial

Talking Point Memo:

In a bombshell development, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is cooperating with the special counsel as part of the plea deal in his federal criminal trial.

The deal, announced in a D.C. courtroom Friday by federal prosecutor Andrew Weissman, included a “17 page cooperation agreement,” according to Washington Post reporter Spencer Hsu.

Journalists in the courtroom also reported that the “remaining charges” against Manafort would be dropped either at sentencing or at the end of his cooperation.

One thought on “BREAKING: Manafort flips

  1. The “rat” Manafort “copped” to everything, except killing Santa Claus, and will now “flip” on Trump. There goes the pardon.

    Manafort is so well connected that his net worth is $46+ million. He earned all of that money by putting one criminal in touch with another criminal.
    That’s where Trump comes in.
