It's a really interesting development.
Manafort has to give up several of his houses, a life insurance policy, and other valuables he was able to purchase through his illegal activity.
While the charges to which he pleaded guilty today don't pertain directly to Trump campaign activity, some of them occurred during his time with the campaign.
And, as I understand it, Manafort's cooperation requires him to tell everything he knows related to the Trump campaign. If he doesn't cooperate, the deal is off.
His attorney says that he's taking responsibility for his crimes and helping to protect his family's future.
I'm curious to see what sentence is ultimately handed down for the 8 felony convictions in Virginia last month and the two convictions in DC today now that he's cooperating.
