Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said Sunday that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who was charged last week in a federal indictment, could “flip” and cooperate with the government.
During an interview on CNN, Bharara was asked about special counsel Robert Mueller is trying to get the former Trump campaign chairman to be more cooperative on issues of collusion.
Bharara said the first thing you do in an investigation is to hold people accountable for crimes they commit.
“And if there’s evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, that you can prove to a unanimous jury, like they believe they can here on these money laundering and other charges, they bring it,” he said.
