THE BIG STORY: SCARY TIMES FOR TRUMP AS FORMER CAMPAIGN ADVISERS ARE CHARGED IN RUSSIA INVESTIGATION
Former Donald Trump foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to making a false statement to the FBI in addition to lying about his interactions with foreign officials close to the Russian government.
CNN reports, “In court records unsealed on Monday, the FBI said George Papadopoulos “falsely described his interactions with a certain foreign contact who discussed ‘dirt’ related to emails” concerning Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Records also describe an email between Trump campaign officials suggesting they were considering acting on Russian invitations to go to Russia.”
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and former Trump campaign adviser Rick Gates also surrendered Monday to Justice Department special consul Robert Mueller after being charged with multiple crimes, including money laundering.
Trump is reportedly “seething” over Mueller’s actions. The bad news is that he may just be getting started.

They even made a video about it!
