RadioOnFire.com - Paul Manafort: Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort surrendered today to special counsel Robert Mueller.
Rick Gates: The former Trump campaign official also turned himself in this morning.
George Papadopoulos: Former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign pleaded guilty for making false statements to the FBI. This is probably the greater revelation when it comes to understanding the investigation of any potential collusion between Russia and people connected to Trump.
There are two sets of charges today, but the second one is probably the greater revelation when it comes to understanding the investigation of any potential collusion between Russia and people connected to Trump. It is clear now that Russia, collusion and coordination are very much of interest to the Mueller investigation still.
The Papadopoulos complaint clearly outlines communications with foreign contacts offering to feed dirt on Hillary Clinton, and also arrange meetings between the campaign and Russian leadership.
The desire for those meetings was communicated multiple times in 2016 to campaign officials, including writing “leadership, including Putin, is ready to meet with us and Mr. Trump should there be interest.”
Now Papadopoulos is cooperating with the FBI after lying to them.
CNN reported in August about some of the Papadopoulos communications. CNN's reporting and the Washington Post was that the meetings were rejected.
