More obstruction of justice cases in the Russia probe.
Quote:
Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating allegations of Russian interference in the US election, filed new charges on Friday, accusing Paul Manafort and a business associate, Konstantin Kilimnik, with obstruction of justice.
The superseding indictment in federal court in Washington, DC, accused the two men of attempting to tamper with witnesses between February and April this year. The charges follow a court filing on Monday in which the special counsel asked for Mr Manafort’s bail to be revoked for contacting witnesses in his case.
The fresh accusations come as the first of two of Mr Manafort’s trials approaches. Unlike others indicted in the Russia probe who have pled guilty and co-operated, he has fought the charges against him and attempted to have them thrown out, arguing that Mr Mueller has overstepped his authority.
