The Russian investigation just continued to create more issues for some persons. It just seemed as though no end was in sight.
Paul Manafort and Rick Gates had been indicted and charged. They pleaded not guilty to the charges and Manafort filed a lawsuit against Mueller.
However Gates and Manafort had been indicted once again. They would now face new charges to the others they already had.
The second set of charges would be dealt with separately than the current charges. It was reported that the charges have nothing to do with Russian interference.
New Charges
“Manafort and Gates generated tens of millions of dollars in income as a result of their Ukraine work. From approximately 2006 through the present, Manafort and Gates engaged in a scheme to hide income from United States authorities, while enjoying the use of the money,” the indictment charges.
The indictment wasn’t taken well by Manafort and his team as expected. They issued a statement that addressed the indictment.
“The new allegations against Mr. Manafort, once again, have nothing to do with Russia and 2016 election interference/collusion,” the statement said. “Mr. Manafort is confident that he will be acquitted and violations of his constitutional rights will be remedied.”
