A federal judge ruled Wednesday that President Trump’s former campaign chair Paul Manafort broke the terms of a plea agreement when he “intentionally lied” to the FBI, a grand jury and federal prosecutors. D.C. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled Manafort lied about his dealings with a suspected Russian intelligence operative named Konstantin Kilimnik, as well as other matters related to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. The ruling could add years to Manafort’s prison sentence. Last year, Manafort was convicted on eight felony charges, including tax and bank fraud. He later pleaded guilty to two additional counts of conspiracy.
