The once-defiant Paul Manafort met Monday with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team less than a month after he reached a cooperation agreement with prosecutors.
As part of a plea deal reached last month, Manafort agreed to cooperate with the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Manafort and his lawyers sat down with Mueller’s prosecutors, but neither side would comment on the substance of the meeting.
Under the plea deal, Manafort must cooperate “fully, truthfully, completely, and forthrightly…in any and all matters as to which the government deems the cooperation relevant.”
Manafort is expected to be sentenced after the November midterm elections.
Manafort served as the Trump campaign chairman in the 2016 presidential election.
