President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and a longtime lobbying partner, Rick Gates, have been indicted on a series of federal felony charges stemming from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian influence on the 2016 presidential election.

A 31-page indictment unsealed after the two men turned themselves in to the FBI Monday charges Manafort and Gates with money laundering, operating as unregistered foreign agents of the government of Ukraine, failing to disclose overseas bank accounts and making false statements to federal authorities.

While both Manafort and Gates had top roles in the Trump campaign, the criminal charges do not discuss any actions clearly related to the presidential race, although the indictment notes that a Ukrainian political party the men worked for had a pro-Russia outlook.

The indictment alleges that the men set up a series of offshore companies in order to avoid taxes on their overseas lobbying work and defrauded banks in order to win loans.
