INTELLIGENCE/LEGAL/PAUL MANAFORT/RUSSIA: “The Senate judiciary committee will drop its subpoena of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, a source familiar with the matter told CNN on Tuesday, hours after the committee announced its subpoenas.
The two sides have agreed to continue talking, and he will no longer be compelled to appear at a hearing the panel is holding Wednesday, the source said.
Manafort also met behind closed doors Tuesday morning with the Senate intelligence committee, Manafort’s spokesman Jason Maloni told CNN…
Manafort also provided documents to the intelligence committee, according to a source briefed on the interview.
The Senate intelligence committee is one of several congressional panels investigating Russian interference in the US election last year. Another is the Senate judiciary committee, which has sought testimony from Manafort and President Donald Trump’s eldest son.
The chairman and top Democrat of the Senate intelligence committee have offered to share a transcript of the interview with the leaders of the Senate judiciary committee.”
