the file. and filed a documents saying the heart of the investigation went to the havana cigar bar meeting after that trump tower meeting, and i don t know that august, 2016. no doubt. what we ll focus on and wait with others to try to get our first look at some data. the detail, the evidence collected by robert mueller and his team over the course of the 22 months. appreciate your expertise. thank you for your time. breaking news just in the to our newsroom on the mueller report. details on just how soon we could have our first look at portions of it as soon as we come back. we ll have that, next. do you love me now that i can dance?
i think there are certainly serious charges that paul manafort was convicted of, $6 million in unpaid taxes. any prosecutor would handle that case of whether he would be a cooperator. one of the goals that mueller and his team likely had was to flip paul manafort, to see what information he could provide about connections between russia and the trump campaign relating to the 2016 presidential election. that is the core mission of what robert mueller is looking at, and they had him for a while and it appeared when he agreed to cooperate but was found to lie and so they weren t able to find out what he might know about those core things relating to konstantin kilimnik, what happened at the havana cigar bar and some of those other things. ultimately they did fail in extracting every ounce of knowledge that paul manafort had about those investigations. going to that indictment there and the possibility of double jeopardy.
it seems like it is wrapping up and seems closer to the end than the beginning. i think that is very safe to say. but we just found out today that rick gates is continuing his cooperation, not just with new york prosecutors or prosecutors in d.c. or whoever, but with mueller s team. he is answering questions about the donations to trump s inaugural committee, for example. he s answering questions about the middle east influence into trump s campaign. this isn t just about russia, right? rick gates is the silent person in the background who had direct visibility into the things his boss, paul manafort, was doing throughout the entire campaign. and paul manafort i m increasingly convinced is the lynch pin of this case. rick gates and paul manafort, were both at that havana cigar bar meeting with the russian, kilimnik. if there was a conspiracy, it s hard to imagine that manafort wasn t part of it, right? right. is that fair to say?
you ve conducted a whole life in shadiness. nick acerman? let me just say this, if he really turned over a new leaf, if he s really seeing the light, why isn t he going into the mueller office and really cooperating and telling them what happened with kilimnik and what happened at that havana cigar bar meeting with respect to the polling data that was given to the russian intelligence agent and the so-called peace plan for crimea that would have eliminated sanctions for the the russians. that s when we ll know if he turned over a new leaf. i thank you all for a very busy hour. i m going to turn it over to craig melvin. i m remain glued to my seat. in about ten minutes we ll know what the sentence is for paul manafort. we should indeed.
