Former Donald Trump Campaign Chair and Associate Arrested in Russia Probe
Paul Manafort
Washington, October 30 (RHC)-- U.S. President Donald Trump’s former campaign chair Paul Manafort and his former business associate Rick Gates were told to surrender to authorities Monday morning, after a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., handed down the first indictments in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election.
According to reports from Washington, Paul Manafort is under investigation over his foreign lobbying efforts. Mueller is also investigating whether Trump associates engaged in money laundering or tax evasion and whether Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey last May constituted obstruction of justice.
After news of the indictments broke, President Trump lashed out against Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, tweeting: “All of this 'Russia' talk right when the Republicans are making their big push for historic Tax Cuts & Reform. Is this coincidental? NOT!”
