Mueller Says Paul Manafort Lied in Russia Inquiry After Plea Deal
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In a court filing Monday, the office of special counsel Robert Mueller
said that former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort repeatedly lied to
investigators, invalidating his plea deal. The court documents do not
detail the lies, but both prosecutors for the special counsel and
Manafort's lawyers have asked the judge in the case to move to
sentencing Manafort. Meanwhile, former Trump adviser George Papadopoulos
reported to federal prison in Wisconsin Monday to start a 14-day
sentence. Papadopolous pleaded guilty last year to lying about his
communications with Russian contacts during the 2016 presidential
campaign.
