In August 2016 news broke revealing a secret ledger that surfaced in Ukraine showing Manafort had received $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments from Yanukovych's party over a span of 5 years. Manafort's deep involvement in Ukraine and Russia was coming to light and he was forced to resign from the Trump campaign.
2016年8月，新聞透露，烏克蘭曝出了一份秘密賬簿，顯示馬納福特在過去5年里從亞努科維奇的政黨那里收到了1270萬(wàn)美元的未公開現(xiàn)金支付。馬納福特對(duì)烏克蘭和俄羅斯的深度介入曝光后，他被迫從特朗普?qǐng)F(tuán)隊(duì)辭職。
In October 2017, Manafort was indicted on 12 federal charges in the District of Columbia, including laundering millions of dollars through overseas shell companies stemming from his work in Ukraine, failing to register as a foreign agent, and failing to pay US taxes for money earned in Ukraine.
2017年10月，馬納福特在哥倫比亞特區(qū)被控12項(xiàng)聯(lián)邦指控，包括：通過在烏克蘭工作成立的海外空殼公司洗錢數(shù)百萬(wàn)美元、未能注冊(cè)為外國(guó)代理人、未能為在烏克蘭賺到的錢向美國(guó)繳稅。
In February 2018 he was indicted a second time on an additional 18 counts of tax evasion and bank fraud in the Eastern District of Virginia. Manafort decided to go to trial.
2018年2月，他在弗吉尼亞州東部地區(qū)再次被控18項(xiàng)逃稅和銀行欺詐罪名。馬納福特決定接受審判。
Manafort was found guilty August 2018 on 8 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion and faced a second trial in September.
2018年8月，馬納福特被判8項(xiàng)銀行欺詐和逃稅罪名成立，并于9月面臨第二次審判。
After nearly a year of proclaiming his innocence Manafort made the decision to avoid the second trial by pleading guilty to two charges(one count of conspiracy against the US and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice due to attempts to tamper with witnesses)and fully cooperated with special counsel Mueller on all aspects of the Russia investigation.
經(jīng)過近一年宣稱自己無罪之后，為避免二次審判，馬納福特作出決定，對(duì)兩項(xiàng)指控（一項(xiàng)針對(duì)美國(guó)的陰謀罪，和一項(xiàng)因企圖篡改證人而妨礙司法公正的指控）供認(rèn)不諱，并在關(guān)于俄羅斯調(diào)查的所有方面上全力配合特別顧問穆勒。
Manafort is a crucial witness for the Mueller investigation because he was a key linchpin between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. He can provide first hand knowledge of what happened during the Trump Tower meeting. Manafort has information on methods used by the Russian government to hack the American election as well as key information regarding Kremlin operatives.
馬納福特是穆勒調(diào)查的關(guān)鍵證人，因?yàn)樗嵌砹_斯政府和特朗普陣營(yíng)之間的關(guān)鍵人物。他可以提供關(guān)于特朗普大廈會(huì)議期間發(fā)生事情的第一手信息。馬納福特掌握著關(guān)于俄羅斯政府是如何黑客攻擊美國(guó)大選的信息，以及克里姆林宮特工人員的關(guān)鍵信息。
Manafort also may be able to provide information on movement of monies sent from Russian Oligarchs to the RNC, special interest groups, and individuals connected to the Trump campaign. And Manafort's unique history with Trump may shed light into the shady dealings the Trump organization has had with members associated with the Russian mafia, and perhaps the most importantly Manafort will have an idea of what Trump knew and when.
馬納福特還可能提供俄羅斯寡頭向共和黨全國(guó)委員會(huì)、特殊利益集團(tuán)以及與特朗普競(jìng)選陣營(yíng)有關(guān)個(gè)人的匯款信息動(dòng)向。而馬納福特與特朗普的獨(dú)特舊交情，可能會(huì)讓世人知曉特朗普集團(tuán)與俄羅斯黑手黨相關(guān)成員之間的不正當(dāng)交易，也許最重要的是，馬納福特會(huì)知道特朗普都知道什么，以及他是什么時(shí)候知道的。
