Update #2: Manafort, Assange held secret talks in Ecuadorian Embassy: Report (Washington Times)
WNU Editor: The Guardian is saying that a "well-placed source told the Guardian that Manafort went to see Assange around March 2016". A well-placed source? And this story is only coming out now? How come no one knew about this. And since there is no registration record of Manafort at Ecuador's embassy in London, the Guardian is saying that it has seen a document written by Ecuador’s Senain intelligence agency that says Paul Manafort was there. There is so many holes in this story this story that I do not even know where to begin.
Update #3: Wikileaks is denying this report (see below):
Remember this day when the Guardian permitted a serial fabricator to totally destroy the paper's reputation. @WikiLeaks is willing to bet the Guardian a million dollars and its editor's head that Manafort never met Assange. https://t.co/R2Qn6rLQjn— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) November 27, 2018
