Embattled former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort said Tuesday that he has never met privately with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and threatened to sue the Guardian for reporting that he has.
"This story is totally false and deliberately libelous. I have never met Julian Assange or anyone connected to him. I have never been contacted by anyone connected to Wikileaks, either directly or indirectly," read a statement provided to National Review by Manafort’s spokesman."I have never reached out to Assange or Wikileaks on any matter. We are considering all legal options against the Guardian who proceeded with this story even after being notified by my representatives that it was false."
