LEGAL/PAUL MANAFORT/ROBERT MUELLER: “Special Counsel Robert Mueller has subpoenaed the spokesman for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, demanding records related to his work for Mr. Manafort and seeking his testimony before a federal grand jury, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Jason Maloni was served Monday [8-28-17] night with a subpoena seeking all records related to his work for Mr. Manafort since 2010. Mr. Maloni has represented the longtime political consultant only since March, so it wasn’t clear why the subpoena extends back that far.
Mr. Maloni, who is president of his own public relations firm—JadeRoq, based in Bethesda, Md.—was told to turn over the records to prosecutors and to appear soon before a federal grand jury in Washington, the person said.
In a statement, Mr. Maloni said he ‘would like to get the advice of counsel before commenting publicly’ on the matter.
Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mr. Mueller’s office, declined to comment.”
