Prosecutors Say Paul Manafort Stashed Millions in Offshore Accounts

HeadlineAug 02, 2018

Trump’s call for an end to the Mueller probe came on the second day of his former campaign manager’s trial in Alexandria, Virginia. Paul Manafort faces 18 charges, including tax fraud, bank fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors told a jury Manafort hid much of the $60 million he earned from lobbying as an unregistered foreign agent on behalf of pro-Russia Ukrainian officials by stashing it in undisclosed overseas accounts. Witnesses described Manafort as spending lavishly from the accounts on cars, luxury goods, home renovations—even a $15,000 ostrich-skin leather jacket. President Trump weighed in on the trial in a tweet, suggesting Manafort is being treated worse in jail than the notorious mobster Al Capone.
