US investigators wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders before and after the 2016 election, CNN reported on Monday.
The FBI resumed surveillance under a new FISA warrant at some point last year and continued to monitor him into 2017, CNN said. The second warrant was obtained as part of the FBI's investigation into ties between Trump campaign associates and Russian operatives, it said.
The government eavesdropping continued into 2017, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to Trump after he became president
