FILE - In this April 4, 2018, file photo, Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, leaves the federal courthouse in Washington. A year into his investigation, special counsel Robert Mueller is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. In that time, the breadth and stealth of his investigation has rattled the White House and its chief occupant, and has spread to Capitol Hill, K Street, foreign governments and, as late as last week, corporate boardrooms.

Paul Manafort?s former son-in-law says he has been so busy with special counsel Robert Mueller?s investigation that he?s been unable to keep up with his other legal issues, according to a court filing and a lawyer involved in a civil lawsuit against him.
