Former chief of the election headquarters of Donald Trump Paul Manafort, accused of a conspiracy against the United States and a number of other crimes, filed a lawsuit against the country's Ministry of Justice, as well as personally deputy head of this department, to Rodenstain and Special Procureed Robert Muller, who heads the investigation of the Russian presidential campaign of 2016. This was reported on Wednesday by The New York Times.

Manafort insists that the Ministry of Justice, in the person of Rosenstein, endowed Muller with too great powers, giving him the right to do "everything that he will discover during the investigation, regardless of how much this is" with the case of Russia's intervention in the elections. The involvement in this intervention is not charged with a political technologist.

The plaintiff demands to limit Müller's authority to investigate issues directly regarding Russia's intervention in the elections. Manafort also achieves the accusations to be removed from him. He calls the basis that they were presented during an unlawfully investigation.

Finally, seven episodes of violations of banking and financial reporting were imputed.

The jury also brought the same accusations to the Manafort partner - Rick Gates.
