The Associated Press reports Wednesday that Paul Manafort, President Trump's former campaign manager, had a previously undisclosed lobbying contract intended to benefit the government of President Vladimir Putin.

Associated Press reporter Jeff Horwitz (@JeffHorwitz) joins Here & Now's Robin Young to review the latest reporting on Manafort.
