Paul Manafort, the former campaign chairman for President Trump, is in talks with special counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors for a possible plea deal just days before his second federal trial is set to kick off, according to a report.

The negotiations between Manafort, who was convicted in federal court in Alexandria, Va., last month on bank and tax fraud charges, and the feds may not result in a deal, the Washington Post cautioned in its Monday report, citing several anonymous sources close to the conversations.

The newspaper said it signaled a change in strategy for Manafort, who opted to go to trial in Virginia and who ridiculed former business partner Rick Gates for accepting a deal for leniency in exchange for testifying against Manafort.

The specifics of the Manafort talks were unclear, including whether he would provide information about Trump, the report said.

Jury selection for Manafort’s second trial in Washington, DC, is scheduled for Monday and opening arguments will begin Sept. 24.

He is accused of conspiring against the United States, failing to register as a lobbyist, witness tampering and making false statements stemming from his work for a pro-Russian politician in Ukraine.

The Virginia jury found him guilty of eight counts of funneling millions of dollars he was paid in Ukraine through a number of offshore banks to evade paying taxes in the US.

A spokesman for Manafort declined to comment to the Washington Post.
