When Paul Manafort wanted to borrow money in the past five years he gave lenders wildly varying estimates of his wealth, ranging from $19 million to $136 million, according to special counsel Robert Mueller.
Mueller's prosecutors released new personal details Tuesday about Manafort, Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, who is accused of hiding his work as an agent of Ukraine, laundering millions of dollars, and concealing foreign accounts. Manafort's right-hand man, Rick Gates, faces the same charges.
Both men were indicted Friday and pleaded not guilty Monday, after their case was unsealed. Prosecutors said they fear the two men may flee before their trial. Manafort faces as many as 15½ years in prison if convicted, while Gates faces up to 12½ years, the U.S. said.
