Donald Trump’s one-time campaign manager Paul Manafort has been ordered to surrender to the FBI as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into any links between Russian and the Trump campaign during last year’s presidential election.

But before anyone rushes to judgement let’s hear what Manafort has to say for himself. It’s only fair, right?

Here’s how news broke of it today.

Paul Manafort worked daily and very closely with Trump for over 6 months as his campaign manager. Trump had to know whatever Manafort did

Trump in August: "I've always found Manafort to be a very decent man. He's like other people — makes consultant fees all over the place."

As Trump & Spicer try to distance themselves from Paul Manafort, remember:

Total days leading Trump campaign:
Manafort: 144
Bannon: 83
