A federal jury in Virginia returned a 32-count indictment that accuses Manafort and Gates of committing a string of financial crimes.
A federal grand jury in Virginia returned a new 32-count indictment against former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort and his longtime associate Rick Gates, special counsel Robert Mueller’s office revealed in court filings on Thursday.
The indictment alleges that Manafort laundered more than $30 million in income that he hid from US authorities.
The two men are charged with filing false income tax returns, failing to report foreign financial accounts, and bank fraud.

Fraud and tax evasion, you say? Good thing "POTUS" is perfectly clean on that sort of stuff. Oh. https://t.co/TpOEB3coUT

Where is the absolute proof of Trump's collusion with Russia you'd promised us? The proof that Trump was a Russian spy or Manchurian candidate? Is fraud and tax evasion all Mueller got?

Again, the detail in the new Manafort is stunning, including Manafort's private communications with his family, tax advisers, etc. Mueller sending strong signal: He knows all.

Y'all I'm dying, Manafort created an incriminating paper trail because he needed someone to help him convert a Word doc to PDF. pic.twitter.com/CTE4oV7zj0
