Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort alerted authorities to D=nald Trump Jr.'s infamous meeting with the Russian lawyer during his fat=er's presidential campaign.

Manafort, who is facing increasing pressure from U.S. special counsel Robert Mueller, divulged Trump Jr.'s meeting with Natalia Veselnitskaya about three months ago, Bloomberg https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.bloom=erg.com_news_articles_2017-2D08-2D10_with-2Dbank-2Dsubpoenas-2Dmueller-2Di=-2Dsaid-2Dto-2Dturn-2Dup-2Dheat-2Don-2Dmanafort&d=DQMfQ&c=euG=stcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpignVfiiMM&r=qvsWPMvSvJQKJyiCbbH3_UeJCr=MWih9KXDawYE2eSw&m=SiBA_veRXmR32uVUi0k61HKQnoFzSZGIPOzg4Y5LoJs&s=3Dph4CSKPOyrm5pZO7bzdp9hJiNpdm-6HjZDz7CUMOtlo&e= reported.

Responding to a congressional request for information, Manafort revealed=the meeting and provided 300 documents, although FBI agents went on to rai= his Virginia home two weeks ago.

Trump, responding to news of the raid, said, "I was very, very surp=ised to see it....I've always found Paul Manafort to be a very decent man.=94

Investigators are looking into accusations of money laundering in an att=mpt to pressure Manafort into cooperating with the probe into the Trump ca=paign's possible ties to Russia, two sources told Reuters.

"If Mueller's team can threaten criminal charges against Manafort, the= could use that as leverage to convince him to cooperate," said one o= the sources.

But the former campaign manager's spokesman Jason Maloni said, "Paul=Manafort is not a cooperating witness."

Maloni also told Bloomberg that Manafort was enlisting the services of a=D.C.-based law firm Miller & Chevalier,which focuses on tax law, to re=lace WilmerHale, where Mueller previously worked.

Mueller's investigation has extended to global bank transactions invol=ing Manafort, as well as his business partner Rick Gates and son-in-law, J=ffrey Yohai.

Yohai, who is under investigation for real estate deals he made with Man.fort, turned over documents to Mueller's probe more than two months =
