President Trump is saying that a pardon of his former campaign chair Paul Manafort was not “off the table.” This comes as Robert Mueller is accusing Manafort of violating his plea agreement by lying to investigators in the Russia probe. The New York Times has also reported that lawyers for Manafort briefed the president at the White House about Manafort’s cooperation with Robert Mueller’s investigators. Some legal experts say this could amount to obstruction of justice or witness tampering.
