January 1, DOJ Files $2.9M Lawsuit Against Paul Manafort

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1931: Empire State Building opens in New York City.

The Justice Department is suing former President Donald Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort over allegedly failing to report interest in foreign bank accounts.

The DOJ’s lawsuit seeks more than $2.9 million from Manafort to cover fines and interest for his “willful failure to timely report his financial interest in foreign bank accounts” during 2013 and 2014, according to the complaint.

Manafort is accused of failing to report income from Ukraine that was deposited into 22 different offshore accounts, according to the complaint. The accounts weren’t in Manafort’s name, but the lawsuit alleges that they were opened or operated by individuals working on his behalf.

“Today’s civil lawsuit seeks a money judgment against Mr. Manafort for simply failing to file a tax form,” Jeff Neiman, Manafort’s lawyer, said. “Nonetheless, the Government insisted on filing this suit simply to embarrass Mr. Manafort.”

    Please don’t destroy all of the evidence while you drain the Western politicians and Globalist corrupted Ukrainian Swamp, Mr. Putin.

    Quote: “Nonetheless, the Government insisted on filing this suit simply to embarrass Mr. Manafort.” No the suit was filed to embarrass President Trump. Had Paul Manafort worked for Hillary there would be no suit or at least no media coverage. For example, Podesta who did work for Hillary was not prosecuted for violation of FARA. The government allowed him to file the forms retroactively.

    2013 – 2014 this is Obama time corruption. Manafort’s name not on accounts? WTF it’s just a smear campaign. It’s time to DO something about corrupt Hillary, Nancy, Adam, Hunter & Joe, George, Chuck, Barack & Michel, Maxine, good grief this whole administration! There is enough evidence on them to make the case of CORRUPTION. So tired of them going unpunished.

    “The accounts weren’t in Manafort’s name, but the lawsuit alleges that they were opened or operated by individuals working on his behalf.”
    I sure hope that the DOJ has something more than a “baseless allegation!” I assume, based on the article, that Manafort’s name does NOT appear on the accounts. If this is, indeed, true, I smell a multimillion-dollar counter suit! What a GREAT way to defund the DOJ!!!
