<\/p>\nMueller\u2019s Probe of Paul Manafort\u2019s Potential Crimes Goes Back More Than 11 Years<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Special Counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s investigation into former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort\u2019s possible crimes goes back until at least 2006, CNN reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n The FBI\u2019s warrant for a July search of Manafort\u2019s Alexandria, Virginia, home said the investigation centered on possible crimes committed as far back as January 2006, according to a source briefed on the investigation.<\/p>\n The broad time frame is the latest indication that Mueller\u2019s team is going well beyond Russian meddling during the campaign as part of its investigation of Trump campaign associates. Manafort, who has been the subject of an FBI investigation for three years, has emerged as a focal point for Mueller.<\/p>\n CNN adds<\/a>:<\/p>\n Justice Department prosecutors concluded last year that there wasn\u2019t enough evidence to bring charges against Manafort or any of the other US subjects in the Ukraine probe, according to sources briefed on the investigation. A spokesman for the special counsel declined to comment.<\/p>\n Mueller\u2019s team could be facing a deadline if they want to bring charges arising from older tax returns: The six-year statute of limitations for Manafort\u2019s taxes filed in 2011 expires October 15. They already may be too late for the years prior to 2011.<\/p>\n But the government could have more time depending on the exact nature of the charges that it wants to bring.<\/p>\n The post Mueller\u2019s Probe of Paul Manafort\u2019s Potential Crimes Goes Back More Than 11 Years<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n
