With two indictments and one guilty plea unsealed today, court documents reveal apparent Russian agents reached out to the Trump campaign as early as March 2016.

Paul Manafort, the former campaign chairman for the Trump campaign, surrendered to the FBI.

One of the 12 counts detailed in the indictment of Manafort and his longtime associate was “conspiracy against the United States.”

The office of special counsel Robert Mueller also announced that George Papadopoulos, a former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents about his involvement with Russian agents.
