- Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman who was charged with money laundering last fall in the Russia investigation, is facing a new claim of bank fraud.
- The claim surfaced in a document released Friday night that details bail negotiations between Manafort and special counsel Robert Mueller.
- The document says Manafort wants to withdraw two real-estate properties he offered as collateral to cover a $ 10 million bond. He offered three different properties, instead that are “deficient in various respects.”
- Mueller alleges that the value of the three new properties fails to reach the $ 10 million threshold for Manafort’s bond, and accuses Manafort of misrepresenting the status of at least one of those properties.
Paul Manafort, the former campaign chairman for President Donald Trump who is facing money laundering charges in the Russia investigation, is now in deeper trouble with special counsel Robert Mueller.
Manafort and his attorneys are trying to renegotiate the terms of his bail, but that effort appears to have backfired, according to a new court document related to that portion of the case that was released Friday night.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
