Prosecutors Seek Plea Deal with Manafort's Former Son-in-Law
Source: Wall Street Journal
Mr. Mueller accused Mr. Manafort of subsequently defrauding a bank when applying for a mortgage on the property. Although the property was used to generate rental income, Mr. Manafort told the bank that it was a second home for his daughter and Mr. Yohai, so he could get a greater loan amount, for $3.185 million, than he could have otherwise, the indictment says.
The indictment says that on Jan. 26, 2016, Mr. Manafort wrote to his then son-in-law about a visit from an appraiser to the condominium, saying, [r]emember, he believes that you and Jessica Manafort are living there.

Hopefully Mueller is using the pressure of extending fraud charges towards Manafort's family members to encourage him to be more cooperative with bigger targets.

As far as 45* goes, well, it seems that everyone in his cabinet is a liar and crook.
