$20,000 fine for lying to officials in humanlmueller s investigation. and the warning from the special counsel team that this should serve as an example for what happens when you lie to investigators. all of this coming today as we get the bombshell from the special counsel himself, this memo, this is back last august, but attached to a brand new court filing, it shows mueller was explicitly authorized despite all this redacting here to investigate whether paul manafort colluded with the russians to interfere in the 2016 election. the green light coming directly from the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. so with me now, former federal prosecutor elyse wheel, also an anchor at law and crime.com. nice to see you. getting right into it, why is it significant that we re getting the information out of the court docs or the attachment and not from sourcing? not from sourcing because of the special counsel has to file this memo and the attachments can be filed with the memo
is formally sentenced in robert mu mueller s russian probe. the price for lying to investigators next. liberty mutual saved us almost $800 when we switched our auto and home insurance. liberty did what? yeah, they saved us a ton, which gave us a little
extremely stressed. they brought up a lot of things that i had to get over when i was fired in 2005 excuse me, in 2015. it s a different process. what people would see about me is somebody like me, i don t try to profit. i get dragged into this, and i m really collateral damage. that s really how a lot of witnesses have felt. i want to bring in barbara mcquade. what jumped out to you as someone who reports on though? th this. this is the first time i ve heard questions about potential payments to women that may or may not be involved with the president. same here. i would be surprised if robert mu mueller and his team want to focus on payments to women. this seems quite far afield, but i spoice there could be relevance here to the extent they re looking into obstruction of justice, if there is a common scheme or plan of paying hush
closer ties to russia, anderson. why wait until now to register? is there any explanation? so manafort s work was under investigation for years, frankly. a lot of people who do this type of work never actually register as foreign agents because the law is so loosely enforced by the justice department. a lot of this work is now getting more attention in the past year because manafort became chairman of donald trump s campaign and the fbi began doing this investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 election particularly because if there was concern of key ordination between the russia hacking efforts and the trump campaign. it s important to note that in completing this registration it doesn t mean that manafor it t is out of the woods. the special counsel robert mu mueller is overseeing the broader russia investigation and that includes any issues that manafor it t may have with regards to his tax and business records. what s manafo are rt have to say about it? we did get a
