| | Special counsel Robert Mueller filed a barrage of new criminal charges on Thursday against two of President Trump's former campaign aides, accusing them of lying to banks to obtain millions of dollars in loans. Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his associate Rick Gates already faced charges over their work for a pro-Russian political faction in Ukraine. In a new indictment, prosecutors charged that the men then also obtained more than $20 million in loans by lying about their business income. Prosecutors charged that Manafort and Gates funneled millions of dollars in income from their work in Ukraine into foreign bank accounts, which they then concealed from U.S. tax authorities.
