Trump’s former campaign chair, Paul Manafort, maintains his innocence on charges including money laundering and tax and bank fraud. Two other former Trump advisers, the foreign policy aide George Papadopoulos and Manafort’s deputy, Rick Gates, have entered plea deals. The Times said John Dowd, who resigned as head of Trump’s legal team last week, discussed potential pardons with lawyers representing Flynn and Manafort. The White House denied the report. Lawyers, lawyers everywhere.
