Manafort, Gates, and Papadopoulos - What Happened Today

This morning Special Counsel Robert Mueller III revealed charges against three Trump campaign operatives.

Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his business partner and fellow campaign operative Richard Gates surrendered to the FBI this morning and registered pleas of not guilty in federal court this afternoon. They are under home confinement and have surrendered their passports. The pair have been charged with 12 separate felony counts, including money laundering and conspiracy against the United States.

Trump campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to a felony count of lying to the FBI on October 5. The indictment was unsealed today in a surprising twist. Papadopoulos was arrested July 27 and agreed to cooperate with the FBI.

Manafort is a longtime Republican operative whose lobbying firm with Roger Stone, Charles Black, Jr., and Peter Kelly has worked for some of the world’s most notorious dictators. He offered his services to the Trump campaign and reportedly worked for free as campaign manager from March to August 2016. He resigned two days after news reports revealed that he may have received more than $12 million from Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Putin Ukrainian dictator who fled Ukraine in 2014.

The 12 felony counts for Manafort and Gates have been annotated by The Washington Post and can be found here.
