A federal judge ruled Wednesday that President Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort violated his plea deal with special counsel Robert Mueller by making a series of false statements during his interviews with investigators.
The big picture: Judge Amy Berman Jackson determined that Mueller provided sufficient evidence to prove three out of the five lies he alleged that Manafort told. Because he breached his plea agreement, Manafort will likely no longer receive leniency during his sentencing.
