Special Counsel Robert Mueller offered limited immunity to five potential witnesses in the case against campaign consultant Paul Manafort. One of the witnesses is Tony Podesta, according to unnamed sources, though this claim is inconsistent with court documents.
It’s not clear when Mueller’s team struck the immunity deals, but on July 17 it asked the court to seal them, so that the potential witnesses won’t face “undue harassment” and “reputational harm,” court documents show.
