They probably asked him to comment on the story before they published it. So he knew it was coming.

Stone and Manafort Go Into Business

Roger Stone founds a lobbying practice with Paul Manafort, who is a childhood friend. Trump becomes one of Stone’s first clients. In the 1980s, Trump hires Manafort as his lawyer on gambling and real-estate issues. By 1988, Stone is one of Trump’s closest advisers.

seems like all the evidence is there and has been for awhile. What is holding up Mueller.

Clearly Manafort sold his influence with trump in exchange for cancelling his debt, etc.

Question is will trump be able to distance himself? His family, as well.
