Paul Manafort has been ordered to surrender himself after his indictment. Manafort was the former campaign manager for Trump during elections.
His former business associate was also required to surrender himself. Rick Gates is expected to be charged with Manafort.
Manafort has been charged with Conspiracy and money laundering. The charges include 12 counts of offenses.
Gates was considered a protégé of Manafort. His name appears in many documents belonging to Manaforts firm.
No Surprise
The charges against Manafort aren’t surprising. He was under investigation for years. It was revealed that he was wiretapped and lots of data was collected.
Federal authorities also raided his home during the summer. He was even told he would be indicted.
Now that the first group of persons have been charged the Country watches to see what’s next.
Manafort has been the biggest headline in the inquiry. What is more significant is his affiliation with Trump.
This could possibly be troubling for the President. It is believed that Manafort could be willing to cooperate in an effort to avoid prosecution.
