Paul Manafort prêt à négocier avec Robert Mueller?

La "chasse aux sorcières" se poursuit... Paul Manafort a été reconnu coupable dans un premier procès le concernant il y a peu. Un nouveau procès doit débuter lundi prochain, mais selon certaines informations il négocierait actuellement avec l'équipe de Robert Mueller. L'espoir d'une peine réduite en échange d'une contribution à l'enquête sur l'ingérence de la Russie?

 "The people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to ­describe the conversations, cautioned that the negotiations may not result in a deal with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who is prosecuting Manafort for alleged money laundering and lobbying violations.

But the discussions indicate a possible shift in strategy for Manafort, who earlier this year chose to go to trial in Virginia, only to be convicted last month in Alexandria federal court on eight counts of bank and tax fraud. He had derided his former business partner, Rick Gates, for striking a deal with prosecutors that provided him leniency in exchange for testimony against Manafort."
