Three of Trump’s aides and associates charged in Russia probe

Three of The Donald’s campaign aides and associates charged in Russia probe: Federal investigators leveled charges against three of US President Donald Trump’s former aides and associates yesterday as part of a probe into Russia’s alleged involvement in his election campaign last year. Campaign manager Paul Manafort, foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, and onetime business partner Rick Gates are being charged “with crimes including money laundering, lying to the FBI, and conspiracy,” Bloomberg reports. Manafort and Gates pleaded not guilty yesterday, but Papadopoulos is said to have been singing like a stool pigeon since July.
