Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has pleaded guilty to charges brought forth by special counsel Robert Mueller, and has entered into a “cooperation agreement” with the Justice Department. He’ll also plead guilty to the 10 charges that were declared a mistrial last month, per ABC News.
The bottom line: It’s not clear what kind of information Manafort has to provide Mueller — or who he might implicate. But five other charges were dropped by prosecutors, the NYT reports, “encompassing money laundering and violations of a lobbying disclosure law.”
