Oh, no doubt Trump always manages to fill the day with more scandalous news on his "stellar" administration.......Charlottesville, resigning/firings of his staff, the disbanding of committees, fights with fellow republicans, etc.......BUT, Mueller trudges on with his meticulous investigations....
We all know how valuable Manafort was (and is) to Trump.....and the raid on his home on July 26th may be a bit damaging to not only Manafort, but also to Trump-junior.
The search warrant was wide-ranging and FBI agents working with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III departed the home with various records.
The Senate was originally unable to reach an agreement with Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, over the terms of his testimony, and issued a subpoena. However, that was withdrawn before his agreement to hold a discussion with committee staff.
Manafort’s history, which includes working for a series of dictators and autocrats, features a prominent role in working directly for pro-Russian forces to upend the government in Ukraine and put a pro-Putin candidate in power. Manafort also worked to generate disruptions that served as an excuse for the Russian takeover of Crimea, including an attack on US Marines and protests against NATO.
Despite his years of overseas work and lobbying for foreign governments in the United States, it wasn’t until June that Manafort finally registered as a foreign agent and admitted to millions in unreported payments. Manafort also maintained an office in Cyprus, and worked on what appeared to be money laundering schemes. Manafort’s efforts left him millions in debt to Russian.
