Atty. John Lauro on Report Manafort May Have Russian Mob Ties: It’s ‘Incredibly Unfair’

RUSH EXCERPT:
LAURO: "This is where a witch hunt can become a witch trial. The reality is -- this guy had discussions with Manafort many years ago about refurbishing an iconic hotel in New York. They never did business together, they never exchanged any money. It’s a big zero, and now prosecutors of Chicago are saying maybe he had contact with organized crime. He is not charged with that, it’s never been proven. Right now, it’s nothing. A lot of fluff. There’s nothing here. To suggest that Paul Manafort has any jeopardy, ridiculous."
