Special counsel Robert Mueller's team is poised to make public a sentencing memo about former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort by Friday, special counsel spokesman Peter Carr told Yahoo News on Monday.
Mueller is also set to release memos about former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn and Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen this week, which are all likely to provide greater insight into the inner workings of the special counsel's probe into possible ties between Russia and the Trump presidential campaign.
Prosecutors on Mueller's team have been telling defense lawyers that they are "tying up loose ends" in the investigation, which has been going on for more than a year, Yahoo News reported.
Carr declined to comment to The Hill.
Some have speculated that Mueller would keep Manafort's memo under seal in order to avoid the public disclosure of additional crimes that Mueller believes Manafort committed.
But Carr told Yahoo News that Manafort's memo will be released publicly, though some parts might be redacted.
The government last week accused Manafort in court filings of breaching his plea deal, saying he “committed federal crimes by lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Special Counsel’s Office on a variety of subject matters, which constitute breaches of the agreement.” Manafort’s defense attorneys denied the allegation.
A Northern Virginia jury over the summer convicted Manafort of eight counts of bank and tax fraud. Manafort then agreed to plead guilty to two felony charges and cooperate with Mueller's investigation.
Cohen last week pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about the Trump Organization's efforts to build a skyscraper in Russia, an element of Mueller's investigation into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign. Cohen said that he had discussed the matter with Trump farther into 2016 than he initially told Congress.
Cohen over the summer also pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations, claiming that he violated campaign law at the direction of a federal candidate who later became president.
Flynn pleaded guilty last December to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and also agreed to cooperate with Mueller's investigation.

Jeff Sessions will go down in post American history as the most monumental rat bastard traitor that ever lived.
Mueller seems rattled.
Weasel Mueller can’t even get his leaks done on time?
You guys keep saying that but you’re WRONG.
He will GO and GO and GO until he finds a crime and a jury that will indict.
It’s either naivety or failure to be able to embrace FULLY what is going on.
The Rs AND Ds AND FBI AND Justice want Trump out!
They have thrown away the constitution and we made stupid and naive jokes.
They broke into peoples homes and took what they wanted based on NOTHING and we laughed and made stupid jokes.
they got cohen to turn and we laughed and made stupid jokes
the joke is gonna be on us unless some conservatives in govt and ANY allies in the Justice Dept hit back hard NOW
There is an end game. It is just unpalatable to speak of quite yet.
I thought this Mueller traitor only could “release” to the Acting AG?
Still trying to get Trump to blink? Good luck with that.
Weasel Meller has special extra-Constitutional Powers illegally given him by RosenWeasel under the nose of elf-Sessions.
Where is Sessions these daze?
Jeff Sessions should have stayed in the Senate..he did absolutely NOTHING except go after weed..that was his obsession, freakin POT
His main mission, along with his good buddy and handpicked DAG, Rotten Rod, was to launch the mueller coup and protect it for as long as possible. The rat bastard elf did his job well.
He is because he is doomed.
He is about to have a brick wall drop on him hard. There are those of us in this country who deal with domestic enemies and Mueller is the number 1 target on the list. He is going to be destroyed without mercy nor pity. The case has been made against him which will have no escape. Every Marine wants to see him hang.
Before he became AG, did he make pot an issue? Was it something he talked about?
Memo to Mueller: We’re on to you, and we’re not going to take much more of this crap.
Try to keep your blood pressure down over the next few weeks. The purpose of the Democrat effort is to put together a big show to slander the President as much as possible between now and the general election.
If you want President Trump reelected with Republican majorities in Congress, read the following to the end, analyze it, and come up with some ideas. There’s some good information in it that’s not apparent from the headline.
