CNN is reporting in an exclusive story that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was wiretapped by the US government both before and after the election. The wiretaps concerned a possible connection to Russian involvement in the election. After the wiretaps ended last year due to a lack of evidence, they were eventually restarted. CNN did not have the exact dates that Manafort was surveilled, but said it was when he was meeting with President Donald Trump.
