Former Trump Campaign Chair Manafort to Register as Foreign Agent
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Eric Trump's comment came as the Associated Press reported Donald
Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, will register
retroactively with the Justice Department as a foreign agent, for
lobbying he carried out between 2012 and 2014 on behalf of a pro-Russia
Ukrainian think tank. The revelation came a day after The Washington
Post reported the FBI obtained a secret FISA warrant to monitor the
communications of Trump adviser Carter Page last summer, arguing Carter
was acting as a Russian agent.
