Special Counsel Mueller Files New Charges Against Manafort and Gates
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In Virginia, a federal grand jury handed down fresh indictments against
Donald Trump's former campaign chair Paul Manafort and his business
associate Rick Gates, accusing them of financial and tax crimes. The
32-count indictment came as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's
probe into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election. The charges
add to money laundering and conspiracy charges already filed against
Manafort and Gates.
