in order to tip Trump off (in addition to other possible witnesses.)
Mueller is still negotiating getting more written answers from Trump . . . .

Manafort's filing also acknowledges he met with Kilimnik in Madrid while he worked on Trump's presidential campaign. That would now total three known meetings Manafort had with Kilimnik during the campaign.
The sentences revealed in the filing certify for the first time Mueller's interest in Kilimnik's political actions during the campaign. Manafort has not been charged with crimes related to his work for Trump. Kilimnik only faces a charge from Mueller related to allegedly helping Manafort tamper with witnesses following his arrest.
