Mueller's "No knock" raid yielded key evidence against Manafort

https://www.yahoo.com/news/manafort-charges-grew-records-seized-no-knock-raid-205539175.html

The FBI’s pre-dawn search of Paul Manafort’s northern Virginia home in July yielded important new evidence crucial to the indictment of Donald Trump’s campaign chairman and one of his close associates, according to the indictments unsealed yesterday by special counsel Robert Mueller.

The “no-knock” raid by agents who picked the lock on Manafort’s front door turned up records showing the longtime political operative had been directly involved in a secret lobbying campaign on behalf of a Ukrainian political party closely aligned with Vladimir Putin’s Russian government, according to the court papers. Manafort, who ran Trump’s campaign for several crucial months last year, has been charged, along with his longtime business partner Richard Gates, with running a scheme to conceal and avoid paying taxes on millions of dollars in fees they collected for their work.
