Mueller investigation says Paul Manafort violated plea deal

Details: The team did not elaborate what exactly Manafort allegedly lied about. But the filing said a detailed submission will be filed “in advance of sentencing that sets forth the nature of the defendant’s crimes and lies, including those after signing the plea agreement herein.”

Defense lawyers disputed the government’s claim, saying that their client “has provided truthful information“ and tried to “live up to his cooperation obligations.” They asked the judge to set a sentencing date.
