Prosecutors press Obama counsel on Ukraine report

Prosecutors grilled Greg Craig for more than three hours Wednesday, trying to paint the former Obama White House counsel as deceptive, greedy, and a pawn of Ukraine and Paul Manafort.

Craig, 74, is charged with misleading Justice Department investigators about his role promoting a report written at the behest of the Kremlin-linked government in Ukraine about the country’s controversial prosecution of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, who was tried under President Viktor Yanukovych, a close ally of Manafort. Manafort, a lobbyist and Republican operative, was the chairman of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
