Prosecutors from the office of special counsel Robert Mueller alleged that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort lied to investigators and breached his plea deal. Mueller’s team made the allegations on Nov. 26 as part of a joint filing (pdf) with the defense team.

“After signing the plea agreement, Manafort committed federal crimes by lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Special Counsel’s Office on a variety of subject matters, which constitute breaches of the agreement,” Mueller’s team alleged in the filing.
