Read: Mueller's new filing accusing Paul Manafort of lying to the government
The former Trump campaign chair agreed to cooperate — but the special counsel says he continued to lie.
Special counsel Robert Mueller filed a document explaining why he believes former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort has lied to investigators in recent months.
After being convicted of financial crimes at a Virginia trial in August, Manafort struck a plea deal with Mueller to avoid a second trial on separate charges in September — and, as part of that deal, committed to cooperate with the government.
But the deal fell apart because, Mueller claims, Manafort lied to them. A lot.
