WASHINGTON (AP) -- FBI agents have searched one of the homes of Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Manafort's spokesman said Wednesday.

Spokesman Jason Maloni said in a statement that FBI agents had obtained a warrant and searched one of Manafort's homes, but he would not say when the search occurred. The Washington Post, which first reported the raid, said it occurred the morning of July 26 at Manafort's home in Alexandria, Va.

"Mr. Manafort has consistently cooperated with law enforcement and other serious inquiries and did so on this occasion as well," Maloni said.

Manafort has been a subject of a longstanding FBI investigation into his dealings in Ukraine and work for the country's former president, Viktor Yanukovych. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is also investigating Manafort as part of his probe into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election and any possible collusion with Trump associates.

 

 

 

 

FBI agents raided Manafort residence last month

CNBC's Eamon Javers reports the latest on FBI agents raiding former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's residence last month.

Manafort has denied any wrongdoing. He has also cooperated with congressional committees investigating the election interference. Manafort recently spoke with staff of the Senate Intelligence committee about a June 2016 meeting he attended with Donald Trump Jr. That meeting was described to Trump Jr. in emails as part of a Russian government effort to help the Trump campaign.

Manafort has also turned over documents to the Senate Intelligence and Judiciary committees.

Law enforcement authorities seeking to obtain a search warrant must generally establish to a judge that there is probable cause to believe that a crime may have been committed. Applications for such warrants tend to be detailed about the evidence that agents are looking for and the nature of the criminal activity they are investigating.

Manafort led the Trump campaign for several months.

It's nothing folks just the FBI trying to overstep there bounds and apply pressure on Manafort to tell them something on President D-Rex Trump. Pretty soon the POTUS is going to lower the boom on all of these high ranking corrupt people and they will all go down ! Go DV ! Go RV ! and Drain the swamp !

The FBI will have their hands full searching Trump Tower.....it's somewhat larger than Manafort's diggs.

The truly sad part is that you either don't know how OLD this story is and haven't asked yourself why they waited so long to publish it, or you do know and you're propagating more fake news.

either way if they're the been anything important we would have heard about it long before now.

I find it amazing that Trump supporters refuse to see how bad things are. And I know you struggled with your decision to get behind him, so you did have reservations and decided to go with the better of the two evils as you saw it. But you are a bright guy and a thinker, so you have to have some idea of the fact this is not going well. Look at the lies that come out everyday. Did you read the actual transcript of the phone call between Trump and the president of Mexico? Like any politician he found an emotional topic (the wall) and used it to get his base excited, but in the phone call, he told the Mexican president it was the least important thing and it amounted to political fodder. If I had voted for him, and then read that statement I would be pissed. People voted for him because they believed him. Now we see on a daily basis, he is a habitual liar.

 

You can continue to drink the Kool-Aid about fake news, but his phone transcript is as real as it gets, and in it we see that he says anything to win. That makes him a politician like any other. I think most of his supporters will go down with the ship because they are not big enough to admit they were wrong. I think you, on the other hand will come to understand this was a con job and will be one supporter who in the end will call him out on the crap he spews. JMHO

I would think that all of the brass around him would let you know that he is serious. For the first time in a long while we now have military stratigest who have the country's best interest in mind , unlike Hillarious and Bengazi !

Know what they found at Manafort's place - NOTHING !!!  Or nothing that was listed on the subpoena - but it didn't stop the FBI from their intimidation tactics and send a message to the public - IF YOU support TRUMP - we can raid your house too!!!!

 

The whole thing was staged to show the 'power' of the FBI's illegal search and seizure doctrine!!! 

 

They took old documents from files of the old Manafort and Stone lobbying firm and seized bank statements that FBI could have subpoenaed the bank for - but that doesn't create negative press for the President!!!

 

 

Roger Stone Insights Into Paul Manafort FBI Raid

New insights Clinton aides being questioned

 

"FBI by the direction of Robert Mueller kicked down Paul Manafort's door seeking documents they never requested. The reason for this raid is to distract from the fact prosecutors in the southern district of New York are now questioning close associates of Hillarious Clinton and are seeking an interview with Hillarious & Bill Clinton regarding the activities of the Clinton Foundation." Paul Manafort raid might be to distract that justice is about to catch up with the Clintons. This raid was part of the effort to frame President Trump which if the Democrats take Congress in 2018 would use as a phone bases for impeachment.

Mr. Stone mentions "the key to President rumps survival is the FISA court declaration at the end of the Obama Administration which indisputable proved that Obama's NSA was illegally surveying up to 30,000 Americans which include Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Donald Trump... we're he to order prosecutions his tormentors would be defeated"

When this is over and they find nothing of substance... President D-Rex Trump is going to knock their teeth out ! He always counter punches twice as hard ! Good by Mueller !
