Former Donald Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort sent campaign polling data to an alleged Russian spy in the midst of the 2016 campaign, according to a filing by his lawyers that the government failed to properly redact.
Manafort's lawyers strenuously pushed back against prosecutors in a memo filed under seal before a Monday night deadline – disputing the claim that he intentionally lied despite a deal to cooperate with authorities.
But due to an error, it was possible to read the memo in its entirety – including redacted material – when it was posted on a court web site.
One passage reveals Manafort lawyer Kevin Downing arguing that it was difficult for his client to remember things about Ukraine during the busy campaign season when he was among Trump's top advisors.
'Issues and communications related to Ukrainian political events simply were not at the forefront of Mr. Manafort's mind during the period at issue and it is not surprising at all that Mr. Manafort was unable to recall specific details prior to having his recollection refreshed,' according to the blacked out material in the memo.

'The same is true with regard to the Government's allegation that Mr. Manafort lied about sharing polling data with Mr. Kilimnik related to the 2016 presidential campaign.'
It provided no further information about what campaign polling he shared, or whether it was internal Trump campaign data.
Previously released emails reveal Manafort touting his status in the campaign and his desire to become 'whole' with a Russian oligarch who claimed Manafort owed him millions.
Oops: A document filed by Manafort's lawyers could be read in full on a court website. Blacked out portion revealed details of a dispute over what the Trump campaign chair revealed about his sharing of poll data with an alleged spy and his conversations about a Ukraine peace plan
'It is not uncommon, however, for a witness to have only a vague recollection about events that occurred years prior and then to recall additional details about those events when his or her recollection is refreshed with relevant documents or additional information,' Team Manafort argued in an unredacted portion.
But then the memo reveals another substantive dispute: what he knew about a Ukrainian peace proposal that longtime Trump lawyer Michael Cohen eventually would hand-deliver to the White House early in the Trump administration.
'In fact, during a proffer meeting held with the Special Counsel on September 11, 2018, Mr. Manafort explained to the Government attorneys and investigators that he would have given the Ukrainian peace plan more thought, had the issue not been raised during the period he was engaged with work related to the presidential campaign,' according to a blacked-out portion.
The argument suggests that Manafort neglected to mention it when being questioned about it directly while negotiating the terms of his deal weeks after he was convicted on eight counts of bank fraud and tax charges.

'Issues and communications related to Ukrainian political events simply were not at the forefront of Mr. Manafort's mind during the period at issue and it is not surprising at all that Mr. Manafort was unable to recall specific details prior to having his recollection refreshed,' his lawyers continued.

Yet another passage reveals to Konstanin Kilimnik, a Manafort business partner who ran his Ukraine office and is alleged to have been a Russian agent.
When his memory got refreshed, Manafort acknowledged meeting him overseas.
'After being told that Mr. Kilimnik had traveled to Madrid on the same day that Mr. Manafort was in Madrid, Mr. Manafort "acknowledged" that he and Mr. Kilimnik met while they were both in Madrid,' according to redacted material.
Manafort recalled 'some additional meetings or communications with Mr. Kilimnik that he had not initially remembered' his lawyer acknowledged.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
