2016 ELECTION/LEGAL/PAUL MANAFORT/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday [9-19-18] he is not worried about what his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who is cooperating with the U.S. special counsel’s probe into Russian election meddling, will tell prosecutors, as long as he is truthful. ‘No, I’m not,’ Trump told reporters at the White House when asked if he was concerned what Manafort might say…Manafort pleaded guilty last week to criminal charges stemming from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s inquiry into Russian interference in the U.S. 2016 presidential election and possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Moscow. Russia has said it did not interfere in the election, and Trump has denied any collusion between his campaign and Moscow.”
