Speaking on "Fox & Friends" Monday morning, liberal law professor Alan Dershowitz broke down the Paul Manafort indictment and what it means going forward for FBI special counsel Robert Mueller's Trump-Russia probe.
Manafort and his former business associate, Rick Gates, who also worked with the Trump campaign, surrendered to the FBI Monday after they were indicted last Friday on 12 charges, including conspiracy against the United States, money laundering, lying to the government and failure to register as a foreign agent. The pair will likely be arraigned Monday afternoon and released. Their indictment did NOT mention President Donald Trump or his campaign.
However, it was also revealed Monday that another former Trump campaign staffer, George Papadopolous, who worked as a foreign policy adviser, was arrested in July and has pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI. He is cooperating with the government, which spells trouble for Trump if there is any wrongdoing.
Interestingly, one of the false statements Papadopolous made to the FBI was about a Russian official's attempt to deliver possibly damaging emails on Hillary Clinton to Trump's campaign.
