very heavy penalties associated with them. >> so, it turns out, we're hearing that rick gates, paul manafort, will be in court at 1:30 p.m. eastern today. let me just keep reading more of what john read. this is more of the indictment. in furtherance of the scheme, manafort and gates funneled millions of dollars to foreign companies and bank accounts opened by them and their accomplices in nomny names and foreign countries. remember, some members of the intelligence committee on the house side went to cypress more than once, including representative quigley, looking for answers. >> susan hennessey, i want to bring you in here. talk to me about how this investigation works. what this tells you about what robert mueller and his team are doing, given the information that evan perez reported before, that there was a reason to try to get this done before the close of the month. because of the statute of limitation on some of the tax issues here. >> right, so it's been difficult to sort of opine on mueller's strategy. his team has played it really close to the chest. one thing that you might sort

and trying to put distance between himself, his campaign and paul manafort. appened prior to manafort joining the trump campaign. we have to point out, while the members of the trump team may want to distance themselves from manafort, he was an integral part of campaign 2016. that is just a fact. ken? >> reporter: absolutely. and another fact, hallie, is that the indictment allegations the conspiracy here went on through 2017. so it's not something that happened in the past according to these charges by robert mueller. but i was looking back at the reporting that we did in the summer of 2016 that you were involved in, hallie, where we interviewed a senior republican, david cramer, a former mccain aide, about paul manafort's connections to russia that were disturbing. and he was raising questions about what they said about donald trump's plan for rush russia. what they did according to the indictment is conceal the fact they were lobbying in the united states. and then they according to the indictment didn't want to pay taxes on their millions. so they laundere

so paul manafort was kind of the chair at that point and manafort then because the new president andlly his children pushed out cory li, manafort became th effective head of the campaign. it ended because of stories we're talking about. there were stories extensive about paul manafort's ties to ukraine and russia and toward the end of august after the republican national convention that the president fired paul manafort. it was a short period of time but a very important period of time that manafort was there. >> as for rick gates, his relationship with paul manafort goes back years and years and the transition extended beyond paul manafort. >> that's exactly right. as you see on the screen there, he was the deputy to paul manafort, but he came on with manafort because the two of them had worked so long together so extensively in the private sector. and what was most interesting is that when manafort was fired, rick gates stayed on. if you talk to people -- i remember doing this realtime during the convention and then afterwards, a lot of people at the republican national committee w

but what remains the most perplexing thing to me about the july 26th fbi raid on paul manafort's house is that none of his neighbors said anything about it for two weeks. and maybe not even then. the first report that that fbi raid had happened at manafort's house was a full two weeks after it happened. when the washington post broke that scoop, it wasn't like they were turning up a document or they found that someone had said a thing to somebody else. no. th they were reporting on a large predawn physical thing that the fbi did in a public place with other people around. nobody peopled and it's not like he lived a mile and a half down some driveway and he was down a hall, nobody could see what was happening. nobody said anything for two weeks. and now we know that the very next day, the day after the fbi raid, also in public at the airport at dulles airport in washington, d.c., the day after that fbi raid, we now found out the fbi arrested a trump campaign foreign policy advisor who was kind of a high-profile person in this national scandal. we've all been simmering through for months

paul manafort turned himself in today. he's accused of funneling millions through shell companies and using that money to buy luxury cars, real estate and expensive suits. rick gates is manafort's former business associate. he also pleaded not guilty. the office of special counsel robert mueller announced the indictment. the former fbi director looking into russian meddling in the election and the trump campaign's possible ties to russia. the criminal charges against gates and man ford do not appear to be directly related to the presidential race. in fact, the indictment does not reference either the campaign or donald trump himself in connection to russia. it does, however, allege that the conspiracy began in 2008 and continued into this year. in other words, the conspiracy is alleged to have continued during the time that he and his associate worked for the campaign and the new white house. the president fired paul manafort in august about reports for his lobbying work for a russian company. but gates continued to work fo

paul manafort has done an amazing job. he is here some place. where is paul? >> reporter: the white house began distancing itself from paul manafort in march. >> discussion of paul manafort who play a very limited role for a very limited amount of time. >> while paul manafort only three months. russia's connection to the campaign was an issue during his tenure. this is what he told cbs this morning in july, 2016. >> we, we have no relationship. >> after resigning as chairman. paul manafort remained close to the trump campaign through election day and significant adviser during the transition. on twitter the president fried to deflect criticism on to democrats writing why aren't crooked hillary and the dems the focus. mr. trump raised questions about, democrat's funding of a dossier. last week a lawyer for the clinton kachl pain and democratic national committee admitted to paying for research. the dossier ended up in fbi hand. the white house says it expects mueller's investigation to end soon. but only half of the interview side with top white house and justi

like barrack, a close adviser to the president, would put paul manafort up for this job? paul was an integral part of this campaign. after the convention, he vacationed with tom barrack, tom barrack went and led the party. it's unclear why the campaign didn't say, listen this guy's business is a little too complicated for us, why did they have ties? and how long was he involved in this? >> one of the big issues that will be a political side. which is how much can the white house and people surrounding donald trump, especially in government now, not just campaign history, try to cordon this off. we saw that with cambridge last week because there was dodgy dealings with wikileaks. the question being these conspiracy, who knew what when. or the famous question, what did the president know and when did he know it. i will point out gates accused of false statements about all this. again that goes to intent and whether not only did you do something and you thought it was right but no, you did it, maybe you knew it was wrong, and so you started telling other people false informat

where we expect at least paul manafort and his business colleague to appear shortly. ll manafort and his business colleague of the first to be indicted by robert mueller who was the special counsel will stop it was under seal on friday and there are reports it was paul manafort indicted and is expected to surrender to the federal district court perhaps for arraignment coming up later. we will keep you posted. johnny is now from london is stephanie baker. you have written about paul manafort and his relationship with the russians and perhaps a ukrainian organization. tell us what you know about what was being investigated about him. >> we know that paul manafort was under investigation for possible violations of money laundering, foreign lobbying disclosure rules as well as possible tax violations. he -- thatw that u.s. authorities have made requests to authorities in cyprus for banking records related to companies that paul manafort and robert gates had set up. areas we know they are looking at. we don't know the specific charges as of yet. i have gone through accounts

but whether or not paul manafort ends up getting one may hinge on whether the president looks at paulort's own legal trouble and sees liability for himself. either in what paul manafort is alleged to have done or in what the president might know paul manafort has in his head about his own experiences on the campaign. joining us now is paul fishman, he was the u.s. attorney for new jersey for 7 1/2 years, overseeing multiple criminal investigations and prosecutions involving political corruption. he was fired by mr. trump earlier this year. mr. fishman, thank you very much for being here. >> it's nice to be back. >> when you read the indictment and the documents released about george papadopoulos today, you're seeing them from a prosecutor's point of view, what seems most surprising or most important to you? >> well, i think one of the things that's clear is that bob mueller and his staff don't like the fact that they were lied to in the middle of an investigation involving national security. and they interviewed this fellow in january, on january 27th. coincidentally, the night that j

we are expecting that paul manafort may actually come out here with his attorney and if not paul manafort himself and we are expecting the attorney to issue a brief statement. as you mentioned, brooke, rick gates' attorney did release quite a electee statement saying this is just the beginning, vowing to fight on, and in an interesting note he says his client hasn't gotten a chance to review this quite lengthy 31-page indictment and this was just done to accommodate political consideration. so, of course, now putting that into the sphere, as well, but right now still happening. we've seen a little movement out here. so we anticipate that at some point very shortly paul manafort will attorney may speak. we'll keep you posted as to what develops in the next few moments. >> keep your eyes peeled on those doors and jessica schneider, excellent reportinga a very busy monday. >> jay sekulow said he is not concerned about a guilty plea coming from the former campaign foreign policy adviser. >> i'm not concerned about it because the, if you look at what again george papadopoulos' plea is, what th

paul j. manafort jr. and rick a -- richard gates iii, together with others, intentionally defrauded the united states by impeding, defeating the governmental functions of a governmental agency, the department of justice and the department of treasury, and to commit offenses against the united states. >> say it again. they are being indicted. this isn't just robert mueller. there were 12 members of this grand jury signing off on this indictment to conspire against the united states of america. that time period included the time period when paul manafort was chairman of president donald j. trump's campaign. rick gates not only worked in the campaign but was in the white house as recently as a few months ago with tom barrack, close adviser and friend to donald trump. the guy who put paul manafort up for the job and vacationed with him in europe after manafort left the campaign. >> you'd think if you were the trump campaign or the president, this would be a little alarming. the president did respond, as you'd

, paul manafort is trying to protect paul manafort. it will be interesting to see putting the squeeze on some of those accounts because what paul manafort loves his money and being in proximity to power. so if they seize those assets, those offshore accounts where he allegedly laundered millions and millions of dollars, are they doing that and putting that kind of pressure on him in order to get him to spill on the next person and whoever else they seek in those indictments? >> sandra: the one thing that's interesting about this papadopoulos guy and his guilty plea is what james has said is the prosecutors are trying to prove that they had thrown such a wide net dealing with things that happened way before manafort ever dealt with donald trump as a campaign chairman that they want to show that they are looking into stuf stuff. i wonder about fusion gps. i know we are going to be talking about this later, but there is fusion gps, there is uranium one, a whole lot of russia gay issues about which moeller should be looking into it. his ma

i mean, those -- everyone who likes paul manafort, and i've always kind of liked paul manafort. as always very kind to me when i was coming up. you know, would think, though, that paul was a buccaneer. he was a pirate. that was his style. and he sort of took great pleasure in that. and the idea that he really hadn't worked in politics in america this century. and for him to come back, it was just sort of a shocking thing that it will be interesting to see why. >> when you see this papadopoulos, this 30-year-oldify in a campaign -- he's no way 30 years old pleading guilty. thinking in his first questioning with the fbi he might be able to get by just lying straight up about his own contacts with russians. how do people put themselves in those kinds of positions? >> well, you know, you've been around campaigns. there is a tendency, particularly in a presidential campaign, that you're a lot bigger deal than you are. the first lesson ought to be humility. and the realization that whenever you speak you're really speaking for the campaign, not just for yourself. but this stuff, it jus

paul manafort. [ applause ] oh, good. you made it. paul manafort has done a fantastic job. people. paul brought on staff, and we really do, we have a great staff of talented people. come on up, rick. [ applause ] so we have a great group of people, and we have a group of people that really wants to win and i think knows how to win, and we've also been winning all of our lives. >> earlier a spokesperson for hillary clinton had no reaction from the indictment stemming from robert mueller's investigation. there you see her in illinois, part of a book signing tour. press covering that said she'd take no questions. but pointing a finger at clinton and the democrats and with papadopol papadopolos' indictment, who had "dirt" on hillary clinton, wee seal where it stands. a former adviser to the trump presidential campaign, and a senior adviser for hillary clinton's 2016 campaign and an msnbc political analyst. back with us, a "new york times" reporter and misnbt securisnbc contributor. and michael, start with you. your reaction to the indictment to the cooperating witness today? >>

high-ranking terrorism campaign official who cnn has learned is former trump campaign chairman paul manafort that, quote, russia has been eager to meet mr. trump for quite some time and had been reaching out to me to discuss. manafort then forward that had e-mail to another campaign official who cnn has learned is rick gates stating, quote, we need someone to communicate that d.t. is not doing these trips. it should be someone low level in the campaign so as not to send any signal. today the white house said that pantlous never acted in an official capacity. >> he reached out and nothing happened beyond that which i think shows, one, his level of importance in the campaign and, two, shows what little role he had in coordinating anything officially for the campaign. >> reporter: e-mails included in the court filing indicated at times he did have campaign back, including one in which a campaign supervisor told papadopoulos, quote, i would encourage you to make the trip if it is feasible. the white house is also seeking to distance itself from the indictment of paul manafort and his longtime as

just a few of the charges against trump's former campaign chairman paul manafort and rick gates. e two surrendered to the fbi and will appear in court next hour. i want to bring in bryanna keilar. what do folks need to know about manafort and gates? >> what they need to know about rick gates is there is no rick gates in all of this. his connection to manafort is something that goes back years. they worked together and gates worked for manafort in his lo y lobbying firm for sometime and he was a deputy when manafort was the chairman on president trump's, then mr. trump's campaign. after the election, of course gates stuck around once manafort left, but not for too long. after the election he created a pro trump pack. america first with a number of campaign aides. even as manafort has been distanced, gate has been going in and out of the white house, being a part of meetings and has been working for tom barrack. you are pardon me with him. he was the head of the inaugural committee for president trump's inauguration and all of this connected back to of course paul manafort who ran t

shery: we know that paul manafort is already at the court.ment is expected to begin just about now. rick gates is still not there. we have breaking news right now already. we are seeing the press secretary start her brief. . let's listen in. a topic all ofg you are preparing to ask me about and that's tax reform. the initial house tax reform bill will be introduced on with a by the ways and means committee. this is the product of months of work and is going through an open process in the house. the committee plans to mark of the bill next week starting on monday. the house is likely to consider we could november 13 in order to stay on pace we want to see a house bill passed by thanksgiving. this is very aggressive timeline but one that will help us get tax cuts this year so families and businesses can plan for 2018. we look forward to the details of the tax bill being released on wednesday. today i want to take a step back and we are working to do using an anecdote we can all understand. the story has been on the internet for a while. the num

both paul manafort and his longtime associate rick gates have pled not guilty to all 12 charges leveledgainst them, of course, this story is far from over. this is manafort leaving the courthouse just a while ago to help break down the legal complexities bring in msnbc's chief legal correspondent and host of "the beat" and msnbc legal analyst and former prosecutor. good to see you both. thank you for being with us. lots of information coming out since early this morning, really since friday since we first learned of this. what do you make of where we are white now? much developed today, heard from lawyers and representatives saying this is politically motivated, not true. paul manafort's lawyer invoked donald trump's name, which surprised me. >> the most important thing we learned today is that bob mueller has secured a guilty plea in the trump/russia probe. that is not something everyone woke up expecting. >> the george papadopolos plea? >> correct. a real contradiction to one of the talking points from the white house that if there's any problem, it's all an old, unrelated problem. an

paul manafort, are you handing yourself into federal authorities today? it was meant to be. mr manafort has no comment. just over one year ago, multimillionaire paul manafort was donald trump's campaign chairman, a figure of huge influence. today he's been ordered to an fbi field office to face the gravest charges. normally talkative, today much more tight—lipped. the indictment runs to over 30 pages and details of a complex web of financial arrangements to keep vast amounts secured from us authorities. it details how paul manafort was working as an agent for the pro—russia party in ukraine from whom he received tens of millions of dollars in payments for decades until 2017. for a decade until 2017. it is alleged he laundered $18 million through various accounts and companies and by any means. almost $1 million was laundered through an antiques rugs store in alexandria, virginia, millions laundered through a men's clothes store in new york. it adds a substantial layer of complexity, just the ukraine and russia connection could add months to this investigat

he's referred to company b in paul manafort's indictment. lated to this lobbying in ukraine, does this mean any democrats are in trouble here, paul? >> could be many 23 they are, tough luck. i'm not going to put my party ahead of my country. if democrats were involved in anyway, they should pay the price. it is embarrassing to say the campaign chairman connected to mr. trump is not connected to mr. trump. when the day comes if it does, that donald trump is indicted, we'll hear he had no, sthing to with the campaign. i'm putting my country ahead of my party. >> america comes first, and with you 100% on that. paul manafort did things outside of the campaign, prior to being bart of the campaign. you would agree to that, 47 people were indicted when bill clinton was president. i'm not blaming all of those on bill clinton. there are certain circumstances -- you can't blame everything on the candidate. >>> next, arwa damon exclusive, she's the only reporter, she went to the exact scene of the ambush, you'll see where that happened for yourself. tha

not so paul manafort.y away from court, through the cameras and reporters, to start his period of house arrest. that was jon sopel our to start his period of house arrest. that wasjon sopel our north america there. s as we've heard, the charges against paul manafort, president trump's former campaign manager, focus on his business dealings in ukraine. mr manafort is alleged to have made millions of dollars acting on behalf of pro—russian politicians. 0ur correspondent paul wood, who's been looking into mr manafort‘s activities in ukraine, reports on an internal investigation into mr manafort and sent this report. the former president's villa in ukraine isa the former president's villa in ukraine is a monument to bad taste and how lucrative politics here can be. president yanukovychian was backed by russia and fled to moscow, the america who represented him, paul manafort, faces charges of money—laundering. the us special council is trying to establish the exact source of mr manafort‘s millions. this place

paul manafort joined the trump campaign at the end of march 2016. let me read you a quote from the indictment, which is from approximately 2006 through at least 2016. manafort and gates laundered the money, on the money laundering charge, through scores of united states and foreign corporations. what this says is there will be questions that sarah huckabee sanders will have to answer about this today in the briefing room. again, i imagine what we've seen from the president is what she will be reflecting, this idea that the president is distancing himself from paul manafort and rick gates and potentially george papadopoulos. that is a significant plea agreement. and i expect we will hear the words hillary clinton and democrats probably more than once in this briefing. let me just talk about george papadopoulos, to, because that's a name that is likely far less familiar to people than paul manafort. papadopoulos was a young, foreign policy adviser. he worked for a very short period of time for ben carson's campaign, advising him there, shifted over to

where do you think a paul manafort arrest leads from here? >> wow, well, certainly, the possibilities are pretty extensive, as he was just -- >> okay, here he is! >> all right, we're seeing manafort come in now with counsel. >> he is entering through the front door. >> walking through the front door, which shows that this negotiation went pretty well, by his standards, right, renato, speak to this. because, again, they banged on this guy's doors with guns drawn to execute a warrant. that does not show that you're giving him much benefit of the doubt. this is a little bit of a different disposition. >> exactly right. so i will say, it is very highly unusual to execute a search warrant at all in a white collar case. and i spent many years investigating white collar crime. to have a no-knock warrant means that they had specific information that he was going to destroy evidence. >> we're just watching him walk up there. we're just replaying again him entering the fbi field office in washington, d.c. all we see is him approach from the curb. we're

former camp campaign chairman, paul manafort expected to go in front of a judge. is is president trump and this is the "the daily briefing" ." manafort and his business partner were indicted on 12 counts. we learned that former top aide, george papadopoulos, has pleaded guilty to making false statements to the fbi. we have it covered. doug mckelway with a coastal look at george papadopoulos. shannon will join us with legal analysis. james rosen

we know from previous reporting that deripaska sued paul manafort in 2015 for $19 million. that was money that manafort was going to invest for deripaska but something went wrong with the investments and deripaska lost his money and for a time he was not even able to contact manafort and sued to try to get the money back. we also know from previous reporting that manafort appears to have needed to put his hands on cash money in short order last year after he got booted off the trump campaign. after he left the campaign in august, he appears to have taken about $20 million in cash as loans from various entities. using his real estate holding as collateral to get that cash. these included a strange cash lone from a small chicago bank run by a trump supporter. the cash that little bank loaned to manafort was a huge proportion of the bank's assets, like a quarter of their lendable capital, and nobody knows why a bank like that would have been making that gigantic loan to manafort. a small bank based in chicago and run by a veteran and their business caters to veterans, former se

paul manafort is a bigger figure be much more significant. is a biggerfigure between expected the charges and indictment against him to come at today. this guilty plea by papadopoulos discloses facts of communication between the trump campaign and russia that we didn't know about and that could be a much bigger problem for trump. the charge sheet against papadopoulos says he is cooperating fully with the authorities. in other words it looks like he's prepared to reveal more information as part of a plea bargain. that could give other white house officials sleepless nights and cause to engage their own lawyers, and quickly. jon, with this dramatic events today how close is but the russian interference in the election getting to the president himself? before i come to that let me tell you, paul manafort and an associate, rick gates, havejust pleaded not guilty in the quarters behind me where they have made their first appearance. as to the question of helplessness is getting to donald trump, special counsel was said to investigate whether there

he's been entangled with paul manafort either as a business associate or a tenant or someone who he knew was familiar with for decades. >> manafort is on tape saying i've known donald trump for decades, and even if they just knew each other during the campaign, the time that they were working together on this campaign from march through the late summer of 2016, paul manafort was effectively running this campaign through the republican convention. there was the whole matter of changing the rnc platform to be -- to strike the language favorable to ukraine, something that was a pro-russian move that raised some eyebrows. manafort was running the show at that point. he was instrumental in the vice presidential selection process, and he was eventually fired because of bad press related to his business dealings in ukraine and russia. and so the campaign understood this was a public relations problem but that doesn't exonerate them. that shows some awareness they knew some of manafort's entanglements when he was on the campaign. they probably knew it when they brought him in as well. >> jeremy,

paul manafort one of two indicted today on 12 counts. e other manafort's long-time business associate rick gates shown here screen right. we learned indictments of some kind would learn in a leak late on friday. something that house oversight chair trey gowdy says needs to stop. >> the only conversation i've had with robert mueller it was stressing to him the importance of cutting out the leaks with respect to serious investigations. it is kind of ironic that the people charged with investigating the law and executing the law would violate the law and make no mistake, disclosing grand jury material is a violation of the law. >> bill: we'll see where that goes in time. but now for this time new york congressman peter king is my guest. a member of the house intelligence committee. good morning to you, thank you for being here today. what a news day it is. your reaction now to the indictments against manafort and gates. go ahead and start there. >> bill, from everything i've seen and read there is nothing in the indictments that in any way i

i melissa francis, paul manafort surrendering to the fbi today, set to appear in court less than three hours from now after the federal grand jury indicted him on 12 counts including conspiracy against the u.s. and money laundering in the special counsel investigation into russia meddling in the 2016 election. >> this was expected. over the last several months if you asked anybody who was following the mueller investigation closely, the one thing they all agreed would probably happen would be that paul manafort would be in indicted, over those months, the number of people in jerome's world that told me that they expected him to be indicted. that is not a surprise. >> melissa: we have also learned of a second case, this is trump aid george papadopoulos making -- investigating the russian meddling in the investigation. john roberts is live with the story, john. >> he was a foreign policy advisor to the trunk campaign that was hired in the spring of 2016, and unpaid position like a lot of these foreign policy advisors that to the campaign brought in. he had suggested to the campaign accor

we expect paul manafort and rick gates are in front of the federal district court to have the police for the 12 counts of alleged financial crimes that they face. manafort for a time the campaign manager and associate, rick gates, surrender to federal authorities, the fbi, this morning. sources close to the case believe manafort's mueller steam may be using expected prison time to compel testimony from metaphor and gates can and alleged collusion with the kremlin lecture. from the indictment this morning, manafort and gates funneled millions of dollars into for nominee companies. the existence of the foreign companies falsely and repeatedly reporting to the tax payers but they had no foreign bank accounts. manafort and gates, directed the campaign to lobby the united states officials on behalf of of the government of ukraine. the president of ukraine, and ukraine and palooka parties. they were required by law to report to the united states their work they do not do that. and the indictment also states, manafort used his overseas wealth to enjoy a lavish lifestyle in the united states

but we know there has been extensive evidence about paul manafort. many of his business associates, business documents that were taken from his home, other physical evidence has been presented to the grand jury about paul manafort. so it was expected that he would be the first to be indicted today. but rick gates, that is actually something new and someone unexpected. >> there's also this talk of being -- using prosecutorial tactics which is to indict someone, bring charges and then in a sense try to pressure them so that they will indict somebody higher up on the chain. this process has been called in question here because the president has pardon power and is suggested or the suggestions are that he might use that pardon power and that will make these people who have been charged less vulnerable to prosecutorial pressure. >> reporter: absolutely. that's a real problem for robert mueller and probably why you're seeing such aggressive tactics over the summer he used a no knock warrant on paul manafort to obtain business records and other physical evi

paul manafort, george papadopoulos indicted here. manafort 12 counts. and papadopoulos guilty of making false statements to investigators. alan dershowitz here to break it down momentarily. democrats wasting no time to distract us from the clinton sandals gaining steam. you know about it the russian dossier and shady uranium one deal. new details on both coming up. back to president trump tweeting about the charges brought against his former campaign manager saying, and i quote, sorry, this is years ago, before paul man in for the was part of the trump campaign but why aren't "crooked hillary" and the deps the focus? blake burman live at white house with more on this blake, if i'm the white house, this is stuff that happened years before he was ever related to the trump campaign. it doesn't seem as though anything from the campaign actually materialized in their allegations. reporter: that is part of the argument and the white house and president, you just read the tweet, trish is making on this day. when you go through the 31 page indictment, 12 counts

paul manafort. it does seem like they haven't spoken in quite a while. if paul manafort has anything on president trump you can expect that bob mueller will be putting the pressure on very strongly to bring that information out. manafort has pleaded not guilty in court. rick gates has done the same thing. here?do things go from perhaps we will hear from attorneys. where in terms of process do we go now? >> the special prosecutor continues his work. they made it quite clear this has no affect on the congressional investigation. one of the key things is george papadopoulos bullis cooperation with the indictment. these are not necessarily finite. could find out new information and have further of them or others. it will be interesting to see whether or not there are more charges brought forward to these individuals are new ones. that's the process. sanders sayingy he expects miller's probe to continue very soon. is wishful thinking given how much it seems to be expanding. >> definitely. she did not pro

was he disa pointed that paul manafort was being charged? >> he responded the same that the rest of us did. it doesn't have anything to do with us. >> we are talking about two of the most senior members of the campaign through and including the rnc who are now under federal indictment. >> for something they did outside of the campaign. >> they did not allegedly conduct during their work to the campaign. doesn't it speak to the president's judgement that he would choose to have these two individuals in very high positions in the years leading up to his role. >> you make it sound like they were regular offenders in massive amounts of trouble and they were seasoned operatives that worked on a number of campaigns and paul manafort was brought in to lead the delegate process and was dismissed not too long after that. >> the president has no regrets. >> i didn't ask him that question specifically. april? >> what would lead you to believe that the mueller investigation will end soon and are there other indictments and my third question, the preside

his former campaign manager paul manafort and paul manafort's former business associate rick gates have surrendered to federal authorities. now we're getting word that a former trump campaign aid lied to the fbi. >> good morning, i'm sarah bloomquist. >> i'm rick williams abc's lana zack is live in washington, d.c. with more. >> reporter: good afternoon, in just about an hour and a half we are expected to hear from the attorneys of paul manafort and rick gates who will be here answering questions that include among other things charges against conspiracy against the united states and false statements and money laud -- laud --laundering. >>> paul manafort will be here with his attorney general. the 12 counts include conspiracy against the united states, false statements and composer to launder money saying they moved money through hidden bank account and $75 million flowed through the offshore accounts it is unclear whether it has to do with anything with the collusion and the trump campaign. it does not mention trump or campaign meddling. he denied collusion including when he served as

paul manafort and his associate rick gates, 12 counts attached to their name. il it all down, charles, government says manafort engaged in tax fraud and laundering to $18 million. when he was questioned by the department of justice he lied to investigators. they say he did not register as a foreign lobbiest like he did for work that he did overseas. when you read through the 31 pages here, charles, important to note, that the word trump was never mentioned. so at least from the white house perspective, they can somewhat breathe easier on this day at least, that the president has no mention in this 31 pages whatsoever. for the former campaign chairman it is very clear he has a whole lot of legal questions surrounding him as he will appear before a judge for the first time later this afternoon. charles? charles: real quick. so, exactly what is next for manafort in terms of procedures from here? what do you think is next with the mueller probe in general? reporter: he will be before that judge at one. this is the first step going forward for the 12 charges. this wi

like every america, paul manafort deserves the presumption of innocence. however he is being tried and convicted in the court of public opinion by what is an abusively biased trump hating media. as part of the news that came out today, george papadopoulos, he admitted he lied to the fbi. i think he's 29 years old. now i knew everybody in the trump campaign. i never heard about papadopoulos until today. and i think i knew everybody. now the white house says he was a volunteer. it seems that papadopoulos on his own was trying to create an an at this the clinton rush dossier like the hillary dnc president obama funded dossier. and he wasn't successful. so now that we have no trump collusion, here is what we do have to be tnight. this is what the media ignores, this is what matters, these are the facts, this is where the evidence comes in. what did president clinton want to be, president obama it and key members of the administration, what did they know about the uranium one scandal? now we're learning about how the obama administration officials, they knew in

we knew these indictments were coming and paul manafort and mr. gates. but it seems to me and you tell me on the surface here that what we heard and heard from his attorney that none of this proves russia medaling in election collusion with the trump campaign. where do you see this. >> exactly the charges that were filed today are just basically money laundering charges and they're charges of failing to report that you had income and that you put offshore. >> typically the way you start with the indictments you don't go after big fish first. >> that's generally the case. you try to build a case. most commonly the way people are used to charges in many snaps paul manafort was treated like a drug defendant with the raids and seizing but you're building from the lower people up. you're not starting at the top. and working your way down. so that's exactly what they're doing and also the fact that even though manafort had been charged today in his associate today the government can also special prosecutor muller can. >> adnan:ition al charges or take away cha

paul manafort was at the heart of that and so was one of his associates. investigators have been scrutinizing all of this activity from the time that manafort joined the campaign in march as a volunteer and the time until he left that campaign in august. >> all right. thank you. >> we expect more developments and we will bring you the details as soon as they emerge. >> coverage continues all day and we have a complete wrap up tonight on the cbs evening news . >>> you will return to cbs this morning. i am charlie rose. cbs news, new york. just made public in connection with the probe into russian interference in the 2016 election. former trump campaign manager paul manafort, and his former deputy and business partne have been told to su >>> as we just heard, the first indictment was made public in connection with a probe with russian interference in the 2016 election. paul manafort term himself into the fbi headquarters. >> we have been told his associate, rick hates has been asked to surrender. we saw the video of manafort walking into the fbi headquarters

>> this is a very aggressive indictment against paul manafort. his lawyer was right today when he said that the justice department rarely prosecutes somebody for failing to register as a foreign lobbyist. this is just the beginning. based on everything that we've heard about robert mueller's team, it's like li there are more charges coming against paul manafort. >> all right. pete williams tonight. thank you. >>> president trump swiftly reacted to the indictments on social media and once again claimed there was no collusion with russia. as the white house sought to distance him from his former campaign advisers. let's get more from our chief white house correspondent hallie jackson. >> reporter: trick-or-treat is the only question president trump's answering tonight. the white house strategy now, distance and deflect. president trump tweeting today, sorry, but this is years ago, before paul manafort was part of the trump campaign. but why aren't crooked hillary and the dems the focus? >> today's announcement has nothing to do with the president,

president hired paul manafort to handle the delegate process. allowing 18 to have an abortion in one case, what is the white house reaction? sarah: i can't comment on the specifics. i did not speak directly to him about the case. >> i would like to ask you about a different topic. the briefing to be on the president to change military service policy for transgendered people. sarah: this is something just announced. the department of justice is reviewing it. i would refer you to them for any specific questions. robert mueller's investigation, and you think there should be an investigation are you asking for that? forh: we have not asked that investigation to take place. i think anytime there is a leak it should be looked into but i don't have that information right now. president trump was responsible for bringing paul manafort on board. this is not at the very least bring questions about president process anding judgment when it comes to green these people? sarah: i don't think so. i think i have answered that quite a few times today. >> you sai

but when it comes to paul manafort, the president had no plans either. so the white house making this case this is much ado about nothing, but if it is, why are they preserving those options? that's a hard circle to square. >> the papadopoulos plea hearing, the transcript was released and one of the prosecutors working with the special counsel, robert mueller's team, he said this whole papadopoulos case there's a large scale ongoing investigation of which this case is a small part. a small part. i assume officials over at the white house they're nervous about what could come next? >> i think some of them are, wolf, but i'm sensing a good deal of defiance. i spoke to a source who was in touch with white house officials who was aware of the message and talking points they view what happened today as a distraction. it's an incredible takeaway. it may be delusional to view this as a distraction. as we can tell, the disstraks is only getting bigger and bigger. >> gym acosta at the white house. senator ed marquis is joining us, he's a democrat on the foreign r
