Rudy Giuliani declared Sunday that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort had been nearly “tortured” in jail as part of Robert Mueller’s investigation, and referred to one of Mueller’s lead prosecutors as a “hit man” before walking both comments back
“Yes, how about having Manafort in solitary confinement and questioning him 13 times?” Giuliani responded, before walking the statement back. “Maybe torture is too much.”
In more than one phone call, records show “Manafort has mentioned he is being treated like a ‘VIP,’” the filing says. Weissmann has become a target of those ensnared in the Russia investigation, as well as Trump’s allies, who have held him up as just one of Mueller’s deputies who, they claim, were biased against the president.
