Former Obama White House Counsel Greg Craig is set to face trial on a felony charge of misleading Justice Department officials about his work with Paul Manafort for Ukraine’s government
Jonathan Hawker, a former FTI consultant who worked on the roll-out of the report, told the FBI that Craig suggested that he and Sanger planned to discuss the project over drinks. “Hawker recalled Craig mentioning in a call he and Sanger would have a glass of wine when he went by,”The indictment plays up the significance of Craig’s efforts, saying he “hand-delivered an exclusive advance copy of the Report to [Sanger’s] home.
Just what else Craig said to Sanger and Herszenhorn nearly seven years ago could be crucial to the case, but the only direct testimony jurors seem likely to hear on that point will be from Craig, whom lawyers have indicated they expect to testify in his own defense. The Times article said Craig wouldn’t comment on the funding of the report. The bulk of the more than $4 million came from a Ukrainian steel oligarch, Victor Pinchuk. Prosecutors say part of why Craig did not register was to avoid revealing the financing for the report. They also suggest he didn’t want to register because it could affect his ability to serve in a high government post in a future administration.
