President Donald Trump falsely claimed in a tweet that Paul Manafort’s indictment pre-dated his campaign.

“Sorry, but this is years ago, before Paul Manafort was part of the Trump campaign. But why aren’t Crooked Hillary & the Dems the focus?????” Trump said on Twitter at 10:25 a.m. in New York, following his former campaign chairman’s indictment Monday on money laundering and conspiracy charges.
