REPORT: U.S. Government Wiretapped Paul Manafort Before And After Presidential Election

According to a report from CNN, investigators with the U.S. government were spying on Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort both before and after the election.

The secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court authorized the wiretapping, issuing a warrant to the FBI in 2015, pursuant to an investigation they’d begun the year before. According to CNN’s sources, the investigation focused on Manafort’s relationship with Russia through Ukranian clients of his consulting and public relations business.
