YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHelp us cover the political revolution
"The Department of Justice gave special counsel Robert Mueller the authority to look into allegations of collusion between President Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and the Russian government, according to reports.
The detail was included in a court filing Monday night in which Mueller's team defended its investigation, The Associated Press reported.
The filing says Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wrote in a memo last year regarding the special counsel's investigation that Mueller could investigate whether Manafort "committed a crime or crimes by colluding with Russian government officials."
According to the AP, Rosenstein, who appointed Mueller, also said in the memo that Mueller could look into payments Manafort got from the Ukrainian government when former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was in office.
Prosecutors said in their court filing that they would "naturally look into any interactions they may have had before and during the campaign to plumb motives and opportunities to coordinate and to expose possible channels for surreptitious communications."
