A Federal Judge sides with Mueller, saying Mueller has proved Manafort lied to investigators in the middle of his cooperation deal. Ari Melber breaks down how Mueller’s prosecutors are no longer bound to any lighter sentence meaning Manafort could now face a much heavier jail sentence. Mueller alleges Manafort lied about ongoing contacts with Russian political operative, Konstantin Kilimnik, someone who is allegedly linked to Russian intelligence. Manafort and his associate, Rick Gates, reportedly met with Kilimnik at a private cigar room in New York that ended with the three men leaving from separate doors. Former Federal Prosecutor Paul Butler tells Ari Melber Gates may have given Manafort what he needed to prove that Manafort was lying.Feb. 14, 2019
