In August 2016 news broke revealing a secret ledger that surfaced in Ukraine showing Manafort had received $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments from Yanukovych's party over a span of 5 years. Manafort's deep involvement in Ukraine and Russia was coming to light and he was forced to resign from the Trump campaign.
2016年8月，新聞透露，烏克蘭曝出了一份秘密賬簿，顯示馬納福特在過去5年里從亞努科維奇的政黨那里收到了1270萬美元的未公開現金支付。馬納福特對烏克蘭和俄羅斯的深度介入曝光后，他被迫從特朗普團隊辭職。
In October 2017, Manafort was indicted on 12 federal charges in the District of Columbia, including laundering millions of dollars through overseas shell companies stemming from his work in Ukraine, failing to register as a foreign agent, and failing to pay US taxes for money earned in Ukraine.
2017年10月，馬納福特在哥倫比亞特區被控12項聯邦指控，包括：通過在烏克蘭工作成立的海外空殼公司洗錢數百萬美元、未能注冊為外國代理人、未能為在烏克蘭賺到的錢向美國繳稅。
In February 2018 he was indicted a second time on an additional 18 counts of tax evasion and bank fraud in the Eastern District of Virginia. Manafort decided to go to trial.
2018年2月，他在弗吉尼亞州東部地區再次被控18項逃稅和銀行欺詐罪名。馬納福特決定接受審判。
Manafort was found guilty August 2018 on 8 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion and faced a second trial in September.
2018年8月，馬納福特被判8項銀行欺詐和逃稅罪名成立，并于9月面臨第二次審判。
After nearly a year of proclaiming his innocence Manafort made the decision to avoid the second trial by pleading guilty to two charges(one count of conspiracy against the US and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice due to attempts to tamper with witnesses)and fully cooperated with special counsel Mueller on all aspects of the Russia investigation.
經過近一年宣稱自己無罪之后，為避免二次審判，馬納福特作出決定，對兩項指控（一項針對美國的陰謀罪，和一項因企圖篡改證人而妨礙司法公正的指控）供認不諱，并在關于俄羅斯調查的所有方面上全力配合特別顧問穆勒。
Manafort is a crucial witness for the Mueller investigation because he was a key linchpin between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. He can provide first hand knowledge of what happened during the Trump Tower meeting. Manafort has information on methods used by the Russian government to hack the American election as well as key information regarding Kremlin operatives.
馬納福特是穆勒調查的關鍵證人，因為他是俄羅斯政府和特朗普陣營之間的關鍵人物。他可以提供關于特朗普大廈會議期間發生事情的第一手信息。馬納福特掌握著關于俄羅斯政府是如何黑客攻擊美國大選的信息，以及克里姆林宮特工人員的關鍵信息。
Manafort also may be able to provide information on movement of monies sent from Russian Oligarchs to the RNC, special interest groups, and individuals connected to the Trump campaign. And Manafort's unique history with Trump may shed light into the shady dealings the Trump organization has had with members associated with the Russian mafia, and perhaps the most importantly Manafort will have an idea of what Trump knew and when.
馬納福特還可能提供俄羅斯寡頭向共和黨全國委員會、特殊利益集團以及與特朗普競選陣營有關個人的匯款信息動向。而馬納福特與特朗普的獨特舊交情，可能會讓世人知曉特朗普集團與俄羅斯黑手黨相關成員之間的不正當交易，也許最重要的是，馬納福特會知道特朗普都知道什么，以及他是什么時候知道的。
