Special Counsel Robert Mueller has added charges for obstruction of justice to the indictment of Paul Manafort on Friday.
The indictment states that Manafort and his associate Konstantin Kilimnik “knowingly and intentionally attempted to corruptly persuade” two unnamed witnesses “with intent to influence, delay, and prevent the testimony.” It doesn’t mention any further details. It also adds a charge for conspiracy to obstruct justice, meaning Manafort and Kilimnik allegedly did it together.
