Former Trump Campaign Chair Paul Manafort Pleads Not Guilty

HeadlineMar 01, 2018

President Trump’s former campaign chair Paul Manafort pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to new criminal charges brought by Robert Mueller, the special counsel in the Russia investigation. Manafort faces dozens of charges in two separate indictments, including conspiracy, tax evasion, bank fraud, money laundering and failing to register as a foreign agent even as he secretly worked as a lobbyist for Ukraine’s pro-Russia government. Last week, Manafort’s top aide, Rick Gates, pleaded guilty to charges and is now cooperating with the special counsel’s investigation.
