Robert Mueller indicts three members of Trump's campaign in almost unprecedented day of White House drama | The Independent
Five months after he was appointed to lead the investigation after Mr Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, Robert Muellerannounced 12 charges, including money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the US, against former campaign manager Paul Manafort and associate Rick Gates. Also, George Papadopoulos admitted lying to the FBI when being questioned about his contact with two Russians with apparent close ties to their government. Mr Papadopoulos’s guilty plea – coming hours ahead of Mr Manafort’s and Mr Gates’s court appearance – made him the first Trump campaign official to face charges relating to links to Russian contacts.
