After Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort agreed to cooperate

Manafort will tell the truth."

Will Paul Manafort tell special counsel Robert Mueller the truth? Trump's
legal team apparently can't make up its mind.
After Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman, agreed to cooperate with
prosecutors working for the special counsel on Friday, President Donald
Trump's legal team released the following statement attributed to Rudy
Giuliani, Trump's outside counsel in charge of the Russia probe:
"Once again an investigation has concluded with a plea having nothing to do
with President Trump or the Trump campaign. The reason: the President did
nothing wrong and Paul Manafort will tell the truth."
Minutes later, they seemed to reconsider. A "corrected" statement removed
the bit about Manafort telling the truth. That statement said, in full:
Once again an investigation has concluded with a plea having nothing to do
with President Trump or the Trump campaign. The reason: the President did
nothing wrong.
The story continued to change following the original correction. Following
the revision, a source familiar told NBC News that the president's legal
team believes that Manafort will tell the truth, despite pulling that
assurance from the on-the-record statement.
Trump has offered words of support for his former campaign manager
throughout Manafort's legal battle with Mueller. After Manafort was
convicted last month on a number of charges Mueller brought in Virginia
federal court, Trump wrote in a post on Twitter that "I feel very badly for
Paul Manafort and his wonderful family."

He wrote that, "unlike Michael Cohen, he refused to 'break' – make up
stories in order to get a 'deal.' Such respect for a brave man!" Cohen,
Trump's former personal attorney, pleaded guilty last month to several
federal charges and implicated the president in campaign-finance crimes.
The retraction Friday suggests that the goodwill between Trump and Manafort
could be short-lived.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from
CNBC asking whether the president expects Manafort to tell the truth. | Y***i
