Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was placed under surveillance by U.S. authorities after he resigned in August 2016, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
But law enforcement did not listen to his "phone communications in real-time" and instead might have obtained "copies of his emails and other electronically stored communications, or by having agents follow him or conduct physical searches of his property," the Journal reported.
The newspaper based its dispatch on "U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter."
The surveillance began in August, "but it is not clear when it was suspended," the Journal reported.
Manafort was ousted after damaging reports about his ties with Ukranian leaders and allies of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
