Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort arrives for arraignment on a third superseding indictment against him by Special Counsel Robert Mueller on charges of witness tampering, at U.S. District Court in Washington, June 15, 2018.

Multiple reports are indicating that Paul Manafort, the former campaign chairman for U.S. President Donald Trump, is in talks with the Justice Department special counsel's office about a potential plea deal.

The latest, which The Washington Post reported on Tuesday, cited two people with knowledge of the discussions, and indicated that the talks may not result in a deal with special counsel Robert Mueller.

That followed a report from Bloomberg that said Manafort may be in talks for a plea deal ahead of his second trial in Washington. That trial is scheduled to begin with opening statements on Sept. 24, according to the Post.
