WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and a former business associate, Rick Gates, turned themselves in to federal authorities Monday to face 12 charges in connection to a months-long probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, according to multiple reports.
Manafort and his attorney showed up at the FBI's Washington field office around 8:15 a.m., The New York Times reported. Gates also turned himself in, The Associated Press reported.
In a 31-page, 12-count indictment approved Friday by a grand jury, federal prosecutors accused Manafort and Gates of conspiring against the United States, conspiring to launder money and working as unregistered foreign agents.
