Manafort has been charged with conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy, acting as an unregistered foreign agent and making false statements — all in relation to payments he received for work done the former government of Ukraine from 2006 to 2014, including for the country’s former President Viktor Yanukovych.

The Special Counsel is probing allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 US presidential election, as well as accusations that Trump's campaign team colluded with Moscow to affect the outcome of the vote.

Russia has repeatedly refuted the allegations of interference, saying they are groundless and invented to divert public attention from actual instances of election fraud and corruption as well as other pressing issues.
