Paul Manafort is extremely under investigation. On Sept. 19 morning, CNN reported that the FBI had sought and secured a secretive order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court to wiretap Manafort’s phone. The monitoring went on both before and after the 2016 election, including in a timeframe when Manafort was known to hop on the phone with his one-time boss – raising the possibility Trump may have been caught up in the surveillance, though it is unclear if that was the case.
