President Trump isn't ruling out a Paul Manafort pardon, reports the New York Post.

President Trump has suggested there's still a chance he will pardon his former campaign chair Paul Manafort.  "It was never discussed, but I wouldn't take it off the table. Why would I take it off the table?" Trump told the New York Post on Wednesday.  Trump went on to assert that Manafort, Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi had all been pressured by special counsel Robert Mueller's team to lie and commented, "If you told the truth, you go to jail." He then called the three men, "very brave."
CNN notes: "The President's comments come following special counsel Robert Mueller's accusation that Manafort violated his plea agreement and lied to Mueller's team after being found guilty on eight counts of financial crimes in August."
Amid this development, Trump has posted multiple tweets attacking the Mueller probe.
"While the disgusting Fake News is doing everything within their power not to report it that way, at least 3 major players are intimating that the Angry Mueller Gang of Dems is viciously telling witnesses to lie about facts & they will get relief. This is our Joseph McCarthy Era!" Trump wrote in one tweet.
In another tweet, he stated: "The Mueller Witch Hunt is a total disgrace. They are looking at supposedly stolen Crooked Hillary Clinton Emails (even though they don't want to look at the DNC Server), but have no interest in the Emails that Hillary DELETED & acid washed AFTER getting a Congressional Subpoena!"
