FBI raided home of Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort

FBI agents seized documents and other material from the Virginia home of Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, during a July raid as part of a special counsel’s probe into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, a spokesman for Manafort said on Wednesday.

Spokesman Jason Maloni says that Manafort co-operated with the agents as he has “consistently” done.

The predawn raid was conducted at Manafort‘s home in the Washington suburb of Alexandria without advance warning on July 26, a day after Manafort had met with staff members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, the Post said, citing unidentified people familiar with the probe.

“FBI agents executed a search warrant at one of Mr. Manafort‘s residences. Mr. Manafort has consistently cooperated with law enforcement and other serious inquiries and did so on this occasion as well,” Maloni said in an email.
