Sounds bad!

Mueller also would have had to show probable cause for a crime to raid Manafort’s home, though it is unclear what charges Manafort might face in a potential indictment.

Questions have previously been raised about the loan Manafort received for a house in the Hamptons after leaving the Trump campaign, as well as his failure to register as a foreign agent during his work for the Ukrainian government.

Manafort, who belatedly registered as a foreign agent this summer, has denied any wrongdoing or collusion with the Russian government.

He was part of the now infamous June 2016 meeting among Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr., son-in-law Jared Kushner and a Kremlin-connected lawyer who claimed to have dirt on Hillary Clinton from Russia’s top prosecutor.

CNN reported that Manafort was not under FISA surveillan­ce at the time, and it was unclear when the second warrant took effect.

Jason Maloni, a spokesman for Manafort who was himself brought in for a grand jury appearance last week, did not immediatel­y respond to a request for comment.

Manafort may also soon receive a subpoena from the Senate Judiciary Committee that is investigat­ing alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidenti­al election. The panel wants to talk with Manafort and two FBI officials close to fired FBI Director James Comey.

It would be the second subpoena for Manafort, who received one in July but got it overturned a day later when he agreed to turn over documents and continue negotiatin­g about setting up an interview with the panel. WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary James Mattis said Monday the United States would send over 3,000 troops to Afghanista­n and that most were either on their way or had been notified of their deployment.

“It is exactly over 3,000 somewhat and frankly I haven’t signed the last of the orders right now as we look at specific, small elements that are going,” Mattis told reporters.

It was previously reported that the United States would send about 3,500 additional troops to Afghanista­n.
