Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort owns multiple passports and used a phone and email account registered under a fake name while traveling, according to a new court filing obtained by CNN on Tuesday.
Manafort, who surrendered to FBI on Monday after being indicted as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing Russia probe, currently has three different U.S. passports and has submitted 10 applications for passports over the last several years, according to the filing.
Manafort used the fake name for his phone and email account while traveling to Mexico, China and Ecuador this year, the filing shows.
Manafort was indicted on multiple counts, including money laundering and conspiracy against the United States. He and his business associate Richard Gates, who was included in the indictment, maintain that they are not guilty.
The new filing provided by CNN details Manafort’s extensive travels and use of multiple banks to house the millions of dollars gained through his illegal work as a political consultant in Ukraine.
