Trump: Paul Manafort has done an amazing job. He's here someplace. Where's Paul? Paul Manafort.
I brought Paul in because a very, very smart friend of mine who knew him very well, said he is fantastic,
okay, and he's somewhat political, my friend.
He's actually a very successful businessman, but he's - he's a political type.
He loves politics, like all of you, and he said this guy is fantastic.
I brought Paul in and Paul has done a really good job.
Paul Manafort has done a fantastic job,
and all of Paul's people, Paul brought on his staff, and we really do, we have a great staff of talented people. A great staff
People knew that he represented various countries, but I don't think he represented Russia,
but knew that he represented various countries.
That's what he does, and people know that.
That's Mr. Manafort, who's by the way, who's by the way, respected man. He's a respected man.
But I think he represented the Ukraine or Ukraine government or somebody, but everybody - people knew that. Everybody knew that.
Sean Spicer: And then obviously there's been discussion of Paul Manafort, who played a very limited role, for a very limited amount of time, but beyond
Hey, John, Jonathan, hold on -
Trump: I know Mr. Manafort - haven't spoken to him in a long time, but I know him.
He was with the campaign, as you know, for a very short period of time, relatively short period of time,
but I've always known to be a good man.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders: These were seasoned operatives that worked on a number of campaigns.
Paul Manafort was brought in to lead the delegate process, which he did and was dismissed not too long after that.
I've always found Paul Manafort to be a very decent man.
And he's like a lot of other people, probably makes consultant fees from all over the place, who knows, I don't know.

Opinion | Lessons from the Mueller charges? President Trump should be worried. - Duration: 2:16.
This is a big deal.
Trump's former campaign manager, his deputy
and a foreign policy aide have all been charged in the Russia investigation.
This is really bad for Donald Trump.
It's true that the indictment of Paul Manafort
and his associate didn't have anything to do
with Trump specifically, or with the campaign.
The documents related to the guilty plea
of Trump's foreign policy aide George Papadopoulos do.
That's big.
Papadopoulos was working to get a meeting between
the Russian government and the Trump campaign.
And when Mueller and his team questioned him about it,
he lied to them. Repeatedly.
At this point Papadopoulos has already been
cooperating with the Mueller probe for several months
since his arrest in July.
They've already gotten a lot of information out of him.
The president has a pretty expansive power to pardon.
So if he wanted to, he could pardon Manafort from the charges.
On the other hand, that would raise questions
about whether a pardon of that sort
would itself constitute obstruction of justice of Mueller's probe.
Then there's the fact that the president
can only pardon federal crimes.
And there have been reports that
Mueller is looking into partnering with
New York Attorney General Eric Schneriderman
to try to charge Manafort with state crimes.
Those crimes Trump would not be able to pardon.
Then, if Trump really wanted to,
he could fire Mueller.
Congress would essentially have to decide
whether or not the president firing the special counsel
tasked with investigating him
would constitute an impeachable offense.
Don't lie to the FBI.
They really don't like it.
Paul Manafort, Richard Gates, his associate,
and George Papadoupolos have all
been charged with lying to law enforcement.
So even if you decide to launder $75 million
and collude with a foreign government
to possibly influence a U.S. election,
when the FBI comes knocking,
be honest with them about it.
This isn't the end at all.
Rather we should think about it
as the end of the beginning.
There's gonna be a lot more to come.
