Maybe he didn't want to go to prison?


NEW YORK, (Reuters) - The former son-in-law of Paul 
Manafort, the one-time chairman of President Donald 
Trump's campaign, has cut a plea deal with the Justice 
Department that requires him to cooperate with other 
criminal probes, two people with knowledge of the 
matter said.
The guilty plea agreement, which is under seal and 
has not been previously reported, could add to the 
legal pressure on Manafort, who is facing two indictments 
brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in his probe 
of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential 
election.
Manafort has been indicted in federal courts in 
Washington and Virginia with charges ranging from 
tax evasion to bank fraud and has pleaded not guilty 
to the charges.
