Trump attorney, Rudy Giuliani told the Hill that the Manafort deal doesn’t concern President Trump:

 

Giuliani said that if Manafort had incriminating evidence on Trump, special counsel Robert Mueller’s team “would have had him plead to a conspiracy that would encompass the president.”

 

Giuliani also criticized Mueller’s team — naming prosecutor Andrew Weissman specifically — for failing to dampen the idea that Manafort could be cooperating against Trump.

 

“One of the things they should do, if they were ethical, is to cut off the speculation,” Giuliani said, claiming that he used to do this in his days as a federal prosecutor if there was erroneous speculation in the media about one of his cases.

 

Last month, Manafort was found guilty on eight counts–five counts of tax fraud, two counts of bank fraud, and one count of failing to disclose foreign bank and financial accounts. The jury was unable to reach a consensus on the remaining 10 counts, and Judge T.S. Ellis declared a mistrial.
