President Trump falsely claims that the Manafort judge declared there was 'no collusion' with Russia
"Both the Judge and the lawyer in the Paul Manafort case stated loudly and for the world to hear that there was NO COLLUSION with Russia," Trump said in a Friday morning tweet. "The judge said there was no collusion with Russia," Trump later told a gaggle of reporters, before leaving the White House to meet with victims of deadly tornadoes in Alabama. Facts First: The judge said no such thing.
He has not been involved in Mueller's investigation of potential collusion in 2016. Later with reporters on Friday, Trump correctly said,"The judge, for whatever reason, I was very honored by it, also made the statement that this had nothing to do with collusion with Russia."Throughout the trial, Ellis made it apparent that he wanted to separate the whole issue of Russia and collusion from the facts surrounding Manafort's financial crimes.
