Manafort in a sentence

Kilimnik became an integral part of Manafort’s operations in Ukraine and Russia, serving as Manafort’s primary liaison to Deripaska and eventually managing Manafort’s office in Kyiv.

Manafort is 71 years old and suffers from several preexisting health conditions, including high blood pressure, liver disease, and respiratory ailments,” his lawyers wrote in an April motion arguing for Manafort’s early release.

A recent press release touting Manafort Brothers’ 100th anniversary boasts that the company “is still led by the strong moral and business ethics of the Manafort family,” a line that raises eyebrows among some who have followed the family history.

Gates said Manafort's assertion that Ukraine might have done it echoed the position of Konstantin Kilimnik, a Manafort business associate who had also speculated that the hack could have been carried out by Russian operatives in Ukraine.

Manafort's lawyers had argued that the state charges should have been dismissed because they involve some of the same allegations as federal cases that have landed Manafort behind bars.

She also oversaw months of pretrial wrangling for Manafort’s case (before he struck a plea deal), handing down rulings on topics such as whether Mueller had the authority to indict Manafort — topics that will likely come up again with regards to Stone.

Then, Konstantin Kilimnik — who worked with Manafort in Ukraine and is now based in Russia — alongside Manafort with obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice, in June.

The special counsel’s team was accusing Manafort of a specific lie, but the document ostensibly detailing what Manafort said — the 302 — did not have any record of the statement in question.

Three months later, the FBI went further in arguing probable cause for a search warrant for Manafort’s bank records, citing a specific article about the ledger as evidence Manafort was paid to perform U.S. lobbying work for the Ukrainians.

All those interests converge with Paul Manafort, so basically we want to know what can Manafort tell us about whether any of that was consummated.

Clearly agitated by Manafort’s conduct, she said there appeared to be no terms of release that she was confident that Manafort would follow.

Dowd reportedly discussed leniency with Flynn's lawyer last summer, and with Manafort's attorney before Manafort was indicted in October; it is unclear whether Dowd discussed the idea with Trump.

Gates could testify against Manafort, and Manafort could testify about any potential crimes he witnessed during Trump’s presidential campaign — if any occurred.

Gates had written to Manafort about transferring money from one of Manafort’s shell companies, Leviathan Advisors Limited, to their above-board consulting group, DMP International.

He also admitted to concealing millions of dollars in foreign bank accounts on Manafort’s behalf and to falsifying loan applications and other documents to help Manafort obtain more in bank loans.

Kevin Downing, attorney for Paul Manafort, leaves the Alexandria Federal Courthouse in Alexandria, Va., Tuesday, July 31, 2018, at the conclusion of day one of President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Manafort's tax evasion and bank fraud trial.

Manafort’s defense team has attempted to make the case about the credibility of longtime Manafort protege, Rick Gates, who served as the government’s star witness.

Manafort’s lawyer, Kevin Downing, tried to undercut the prosecutors’ case by getting Laporta to concede that Manafort’s finances were complicated, and that Gates was deeply involved in the process.

Manafort’s lawyers argued there is no way that one of the banks, Federal Savings Bank, could have been defrauded because its chairman, Stephen Calk, knew full well that Manafort’s finances were in disarray but approved the loan to him anyway.

Manafort was indicted and tried as part of Mueller's probe, and prosecutors have sought to keep politics out of Manafort's trial.
