Giuliani says Mueller has accused Manafort of lying about Trump
« on: December 07, 2018, 09:40:36 pm »
Washington (CNN) — Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has made clear to Paul Manafort's attorneys that they believe the former Trump campaign chair is lying to them about President Donald Trump, according to the President's attorney Rudy Giuliani.

"In the questioning of Manafort, they did tell them at the time that they believed he was lying about certain things related to us that he's not lying about," Giuliani told CNN.

Mueller's team will describe to a federal court on Friday the alleged lies told by Manafort that led to the disruption of the cooperation agreement. The filing will be closely read for any indications of what Mueller has learned in the investigation of Russian interactions with Trump associates.

I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

According to Giuliani, investigators told Manafort they don't believe that the President did not know about the 2016 Trump Tower meeting that Manafort attended with Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and a Russian attorney who had promised dirt on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Well, if they’re going before a judge with this, they’d have information as to why they believe that’s a lie. If so, it’s problematic for a few people.

If the witch-hunt team is going to court, they’ll have to have more than beliefs.

I guess if they were really "wire-tapping" Trump Towers, they would know.
