Ex-Trump staff Manafort to cooperate with Mueller investigation!

• Manafort could eventually be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.

President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort agreed on Friday to cooperate in the special counsel investigation of possible campaign collusion with Russia.

In a plea deal to avert a second trial on money laundering and illegal lobbying charges, Manafort agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy against the US and another count of obstruction of justice.

Manafort could eventually be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison as a part of the deal, and will forfeit four real estate properties worth millions of dollars.
