Last October, special counsel Robert Mueller indicted Paul Manafort on nine counts, all related to his past work for Ukrainian politicians and the millions of dollars he got from that work. (He’s pleaded not guilty.)
But Mueller may not be stopping there. His investigators have also been scrutinizing some $16 million in loans Manafort got after the 2016 election — and are looking into whether Manafort promised his lender a Trump administration job in return, according to a report Wednesday by NBC News’s Tom Winter and Hallie Jackson.
Mueller alluded to the loans in a court filing Friday, during deliberations over Manafort’s bail package. He wrote that he’d learned of “additional criminal conduct” from Manafort, including “a series of bank frauds and bank fraud conspiracies.” And he wrote that Manafort had gotten those particular loans “through a series of false and fraudulent representations.”
Additionally, Politico’s Josh Gerstein reported Wednesday that Mueller has filed new, sealed charges in the case against Manafort and Rick Gates. This new charging document isn’t yet public, and it’s not clear whom or what it’s about. But these loans seem one obvious possibility.
Paul Manafort got $16 million in loans after the election. Mueller finds that very interesting.
