He then entered the church and continued firing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed that at least 26 people were killed. A Texas Department of Public Safety official said the ages of the victims ranged from 5 to 72 years old. The AP reports that \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/325a116cb78e4b8b8e5992c8763ca956\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the pastor's 14-year-old daughter is among the dead\u003c/a>. In a news conference, Freeman Martin, a regional director of the Texas Department of Safety, said 23 of those killed were found in the church, two were found outside the church and one died after being taken to a hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Public Safety confirmed to NPR that at least 20 others were wounded. A DPS official said in the news conference that the gunman was confronted by an armed civilian outside the church.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shooter has been identified as Devin Patrick Kelley, 26, according to a law enforcement official. Kelley previously served in the U.S. Air Force in New Mexico from 2010 until he received a bad conduct discharge in 2014, Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek told NPR in an email. He was court-martialed in 2012 for assaulting his wife and child and sentenced to 12 months of confinement. Kelley died shortly after the attack. It's unclear whether it was self-inflicted or whether he was shot by a resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelley lived in New Braunfels, northeast of San Antonio, records show. He attended New Braunfels High School, a classmate confirmed to KUT's Mose Buchele.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Tom Vinger of the Texas Department of Public Safety said, \"The shooter was later found deceased in his vehicle in Guadalupe County. The exact circumstances of the gunman's death are still under investigation. The wounded individuals were transported to San Antonio Medical Center and University Hospital in San Antonio.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ksat.com/news/neighbor-who-watched-shooting-unfold-says-gunman-unloaded-at-least-6-clips-on-church\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KSAT television\u003c/a> spoke with Fred Curnow, who lives near the church. Curnow said he heard gunfire. \"I went to the window to look and I see an armed man dressed in riot gear — I guess that's what you call it — SWAT gear,\" Curnow said. \"Fully masked, fully armored. He was just shooting the church from the outside.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he saw the shooter return to a white SUV to reload.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/MaxMasseyTV/status/927252802182754304\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the attack, the shooter reportedly exchanged gunfire with a nearby resident before getting in his vehicle and driving away. Martin said he could not confirm whether the neighbor hit the suspect, but said it was safe to say that his actions, which caused the shooter to drop his weapon, saved lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KSAT spoke with Johnnie Langendorff, who said the man who exchanged fire with the suspect \"came to my vehicle in distress with his weapon\" and quickly explained what had happened. \"The other gentleman came and said, 'We need to pursue him. He just shot up the church.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/927265906086031363\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Langendorff said he and the other man pursued the shooter at high speed before he appeared to lose control and go off the road. \"The other gentleman jumped out and had his rifle on him and he didn't move after that,\" Langendorff told the TV station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fewer than a thousand people live in Sutherland Springs. Kelsey Bradshaw, a reporter for the \u003cem>San Antonio Express-News\u003c/em>, told NPR: \"The number of people who are injured and killed make up about 10 percent of the entire population.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Martin Davies of Texas Public Radio told NPR's Noel King: \"This is a blue jeans and working boots kind of church. It's a big part of the community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While the details of this horrific act are still under investigation, Cecilia and I want to send our sincerest thoughts and prayers to all those who have been affected by this evil act,\" Gov. Greg Abbott \u003ca href=\"https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-statement-on-shooting-in-sutherland-springs-tx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said in a statement\u003c/a>. \"I want to thank law enforcement for their response and ask that all Texans pray for the Sutherland Springs community during this time of mourning and loss.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a small Baptist church. It's an older building,\" one witness who works nearby \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/several-casualties-reported-texas-church-shooting-n817751?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma\">told MSNBC\u003c/a>, adding that she heard \"semiautomatic gunfire\" from her vantage point about 150 yards away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I never thought it would happen here. This is something that happens in a big city. I would never have thought this would have taken place here. It's just too tight a community. It doesn't make sense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local media reported that law enforcement closed off the scene, where emergency vehicles lined the streets and witnesses told of several helicopters overhead. FBI agents also arrived at the church. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ATFHQ/status/927255361660301314\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted\u003c/a> that special agents from its San Antonio field office were on the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"May God be w/ the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas,\" President \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/927265906086031363\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump tweeted\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president opened previously scheduled remarks in Tokyo on Monday morning local time with \"thoughts and prayers\" for the victims. He said he was sending \"thoughts prayers and deepest condolences to victims of horrific assault on a church in a beautiful area. So sad.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/927397233741492225\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In dark times, and these are dark times, such as these, Americans do what they do best and pull together,\" Trump said. \"Through the tears and through the sadness we stand strong.\" He said his administration would provide support to Texas and the local authorities investigating the shooting.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nCorrection, Nov. 6, 2017:\u003cbr>\nIn a previous version of this post, Kelsey Bradshaw was identified as a reporter for the San Antonio News Express.

Kelley previously served in the U.S. Air Force in New Mexico from 2010 until he received a bad conduct discharge in 2014, Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek told NPR in an email. He was court-martialed in 2012 for assaulting his wife and child and sentenced to 12 months of confinement. Kelley died shortly after the attack. It's unclear whether it was self-inflicted or whether he was shot by a resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelley lived in New Braunfels, northeast of San Antonio, records show.

Facebook has grown in the span of just 13 years from a handful of college students to over 2 billion monthly users; with advertising revenue close to \u003ca href=\"https://www.statista.com/statistics/271258/facebooks-advertising-revenue-worldwide/\">$27 billion\u003c/a> last year alone. Along the way, it has hooked legacy media too. Many news organizations depend on Facebook to drive traffic and a number of other outlets, including NPR, have paid partnerships with Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Call it ambition or naïveté. The company's early mantra, \"move fast and break things,\" proved to be a winning approach to software development. Not so much to human relationships. It was a classic Silicon Valley case of product before purpose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook leaders now say that, perhaps by moving too quickly, they failed to anticipate all the ways in which people could abuse their platform. For a group of engineers focused on data and algorithms, it's like the modern version of Frankenstein: they've created a monster whose powers they're just beginning to understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To do it, the company will need to shift the focus of its metrics. People who've work at Facebook say that from Day 1, Zuckerberg has been fixated on measuring engagement: how much you like, click, share, up to what second you watch a video. In product meetings, current and former employees say, any suggestion to tweak News Feed — Facebook's signature product — must include a deep analysis of how that would increase or decrease engagement. This dogged focus on metrics is also apparent from the company's own blog posts and research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"PaRFKj98HL1tfhhew3rQb40kFXILH4PN\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's the negative engagement — Russian operatives, trolls, hate groups — that the CEO and his leadership team has been far slower to register. Now the company is scrambling to figure out how to monitor and quantify the bad. It's hiring more than 4,000 new employees to weed out fake accounts and violators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One problem: A key data source the company has been relying on — users to report bad content — is chronically unreliable, according to people at Facebook who've had to analyze it. Users flag a lot of things that they shouldn't. For instance, they can report a post as fake news because they disagree with it; others can say a business page is offensive when actually it's just a competitor they want to take down. Facebook's leaders have publicly said they stand behind this crowdsourcing approach. But, inside the company, people know this system just doesn't work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One Facebook employee tells NPR that recently, engineers in-house began to do random sampling of News Feed — to proactively look for violations (not just wait for users to flag content). \"We're trying,\" the employee says. \"But you can't look for new bad behavior. It's a hopeless exercise.\" Meaning, you can only find violations that you know to look for. Prior to 2016, political interference in elections wasn't even a category on the radar of the engineers leading these efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"hGsfQLI0vOF5woiOWyPUEockMPNwm2vN\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's political pressure to clean up. This week the House and Senate are holding three hearings on election interference by the Russians, calling on Facebook, Twitter and Google representatives to testify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's also a notable shift in the zeitgeist of Silicon Valley. In a \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/video/technology/culture/2017/09/14/ev-williams-misinformation-internet-facebook-ads-russia-twitter-bots.cnnmoney/index.html\">recent interview\u003c/a> with CNN, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams said \"Facebook is filled with crap ads\"; and that all the ad-driven platforms (Twitter included) are benefiting from fake information, \"generating attention at pretty much any cost. That's the most broken thing about the information economy we live in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside Facebook, there's a deep conflict. On the one hand, employees who've spoken with NPR feel terribly that Facebook is a space for Russian operatives, hate speech and extremists. Engineers and product managers are racing to fix it, working overtime, reading history books on Russian propaganda techniques — just to try to wrap their minds around how the past is repeating itself, through new technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, they're indignant, believing they've created a beautiful, seamless technology that does more good than harm, and that Facebook engineers aren't responsible for human nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's clear is that Facebook is trying to understand its own platform's ability to cause harm. What's unclear is: Can Facebook stop it? \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

The company's early mantra, \"move fast and break things,\" proved to be a winning approach to software development. Not so much to human relationships. It was a classic Silicon Valley case of product before purpose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook leaders now say that, perhaps by moving too quickly, they failed to anticipate all the ways in which people could abuse their platform. For a group of engineers focused on data and algorithms, it's like the modern version of Frankenstein: they've created a monster whose powers they're just beginning to understand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To do it, the company will need to shift the focus of its metrics. People who've work at Facebook say that from Day 1, Zuckerberg has been fixated on measuring engagement: how much you like, click, share, up to what second you watch a video. In product meetings, current and former employees say, any suggestion to tweak News Feed — Facebook's signature product — must include a deep analysis of how that would increase or decrease engagement. This dogged focus on metrics is also apparent from the company's own blog posts and research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's the negative engagement — Russian operatives, trolls, hate groups — that the CEO and his leadership team has been far slower to register. Now the company is scrambling to figure out how to monitor and quantify the bad. It's hiring more than 4,000 new employees to weed out fake accounts and violators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One problem: A key data source the company has been relying on — users to report bad content — is chronically unreliable, according to people at Facebook who've had to analyze it. Users flag a lot of things that they shouldn't. For instance, they can report a post as fake news because they disagree with it; others can say a business page is offensive when actually it's just a competitor they want to take down. Facebook's leaders have publicly said they stand behind this crowdsourcing approach. But, inside the company, people know this system just doesn't work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One Facebook employee tells NPR that recently, engineers in-house began to do random sampling of News Feed — to proactively look for violations (not just wait for users to flag content). \"We're trying,\" the employee says. \"But you can't look for new bad behavior. It's a hopeless exercise.\" Meaning, you can only find violations that you know to look for. Prior to 2016, political interference in elections wasn't even a category on the radar of the engineers leading these efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's political pressure to clean up. This week the House and Senate are holding three hearings on election interference by the Russians, calling on Facebook, Twitter and Google representatives to testify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's also a notable shift in the zeitgeist of Silicon Valley. In a \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/video/technology/culture/2017/09/14/ev-williams-misinformation-internet-facebook-ads-russia-twitter-bots.cnnmoney/index.html\">recent interview\u003c/a> with CNN, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams said \"Facebook is filled with crap ads\"; and that all the ad-driven platforms (Twitter included) are benefiting from fake information, \"generating attention at pretty much any cost. That's the most broken thing about the information economy we live in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside Facebook, there's a deep conflict. On the one hand, employees who've spoken with NPR feel terribly that Facebook is a space for Russian operatives, hate speech and extremists. Engineers and product managers are racing to fix it, working overtime, reading history books on Russian propaganda techniques — just to try to wrap their minds around how the past is repeating itself, through new technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, they're indignant, believing they've created a beautiful, seamless technology that does more good than harm, and that Facebook engineers aren't responsible for human nature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 4:20 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apparent Russian agents began reaching out to Donald Trump's presidential campaign as early as March of 2016, the Justice Department established in documents released Monday, with appeals for partnership and offers of help including \"dirt\" on Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That case is made in charging documents in the case of then-Trump foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court documents got a little less focus early in the day than other indictments involving Trump's one-time campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and a top aide, Rick Gates, who was Manafort's deputy and a business partner. Manafort and Gates pleaded not guilty in federal court Monday to all the charges announced earlier Monday, NPR's Barbara Sprunt reports. The two men were deemed a flight risk and put under house arrest. Both told the court they have a difficult time \"assessing their assets at this point.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"aE2LHRTYJWqjXHl7gtEDAAaMOfuoboDV\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Papadopoulos matter speaks to the heart of the mandate for Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller — to examine potential connections between people in the Trump campaign and Russian influence-mongers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is now known is that Russia tried to infiltrate the Trump campaign — and did so successfully, at least at some level. Put in context of other reporting around the Russia story, it is a remarkable establishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court documents also establish that Russia promised \"thousands of emails\" that would have \"dirt\" on Hillary Clinton to Papadopoulos in April 2016. A trove of hacked Democratic emails was released by WikiLeaks three months later — in the midst of the Democratic National Convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I will tell you this, Russia: If you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,\" Trump said, appearing to encourage Russia to continue digging. His campaign denied he was doing that. \"I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Papadopoulos tried to set up additional meetings or contacts between people in the Trump campaign and Russians. There were many contacts, according to the court documents, which describe meetings or messages between Papadopoulos and at least two Russians, a \"professor\" in London and a woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what remains unknown is who are the high-ranking campaign officials Papadopoulos contacted and what did those other officials do, if anything, with information Papadopoulos shared?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is known, however, that Donald Trump Jr., the son of the billionaire, organized and took a meeting with Russian nationals, who also promised dirt on Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it's what you say,\" Trump Jr. wrote to the associate who set up the meeting, \"I love it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort and Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and a key adviser, also attended the meeting at Trump Tower in June 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the first time a connection between the Trump campaign and Russia's attempt to interfere in the 2016 election has been established by an ironclad official government source. Reporting that has linked the Trump campaign and Russia's effort has been dismissed by the White House and the president as \"fake news.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after the charges against Manafort and Gates were announced, President Trump dismissed their significance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/925005659569041409\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/925006418989715456\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Papadopoulos' guilty plea is going to be more difficult for him to downplay, although the White House tried to do so on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Today's announcement has nothing to do with the president or the campaign or campaign activity,\" White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said at a White House press briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, that is not true. Trump named Papadopoulos as a foreign-policy adviser to the campaign. Sanders, however, dismissed him merely a \"volunteer member of an advisory council that met one time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders tried to pivot to the Clinton campaign instead, alleging it \"colluded\" with Russian intelligence to craft the so-called \"Steele Dossier.\" The dossier, which collected opposition research on Trump that eventually focused on his ties to Russia, was initially paid for by the conservative Washington Free Beacon website. The site \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/27/us/politics/trump-dossier-paul-singer.html\">is funded in large part \u003c/a>by conservative donor Paul Singer, who was a Trump skeptic and backer of Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio for president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research for the dossier was conducted by a firm called Fusion GPS, run by two former investigative reporters. They hired Chris Steele, a former British spy turned private investigator. He has ties to U.S. intelligence and is known as a Russia expert. As a specialist, they hired him to find more information about Trump's ties in Russia that they couldn't get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the primaries were over, the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee picked up the tab to keep the research going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders called the dossier as \"false information.\" Some of it has been confirmed by some news outlets. Some of it is incendiary and has not been independently confirmed. Sanders dismissed the meeting at Trump Tower between Trump Jr. and Russian nationals as simply \"a meeting that took place\" and \"routine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not routine. Opposition research is, but not seeking it from foreign governments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders, though, contended the Clinton campaign's and DNC's \"millions of dollars\" paid for the oppo-research file (that it never used) was far worse that Trump Jr.'s meeting — or anything coming out of Monday's court documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They took one meeting, and nothing came of it,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders also said the president had \"no reaction,\" because \"it doesn't have anything to do with us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Not the end of the Mueller investigation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could be more details to come either from Mueller or the congressional committees that are investigating the Russia imbroglio. Court documents indicate that Papadopoulos has met with the government \"on numerous occasions to provide information and answer questions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is also investigating Russia-Trump ties, called Monday's developments in a statement \"a significant and sobering step in what will be a complex and likely lengthy investigation by the Special Counsel. That is why it is imperative that Congress take action now to protect the independence of the Special Counsel, wherever or however high his investigation may lead.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His office also said he wants bipartisan members of Congress to \"make clear\" to President Trump \"that issuing pardons to any of his associates or to himself would be unacceptable, and result in immediate, bipartisan action by Congress.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has the unfettered ability to pardon anyone from federal crimes. But that only applies to \u003cem>federal \u003c/em>crimes. Some officials, including Manafort, could also face charges at the state level — in New York, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warner also put the guilty plea and indictments in the context of broader developments on the Trump-Russia investigation over the last several months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is just the latest in a series of undisclosed contacts, misleading public statements, potentially compromising information, and highly questionable actions from the time of the Trump campaign that together, remain a cause for deep concern and continued investigation,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are indications that Papadopoulos is cooperating with federal agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is in the best interest of our client, George Papadopoulos, that we refrain from commenting on George's case,\" his lawyers, Thomas M. Breen and Robert W. Stanley, said in a short statement obtained by NPR's Carrie Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They then added: \"We will have the opportunity to comment on George's involvement when called upon by the Court at a later date. We look forward to telling all of the details of George's story at that time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and other conservatives have tried to sully Mueller's name, hoping to delegitimize his findings as politically motivated. One Mueller ally, fired former FBI Director James Comey, took to his newly revealed Twitter account to seemingly — and cryptically — back up the special counsel:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FormerBu/status/925070993692987394\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The charges\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort and Gates, were charged with \"conspiracy against the United States,\" \"conspiracy to launder money\" and other offenses. The two were expected in court in Washington by the afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department indictment on Manafort and Gates contains 12 counts: \"conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading FARA statements, false statements, and seven counts of failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Papadopoulos\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/30/560816481/trumps-former-foreign-policy-advisor-pleads-guilty-to-lying-to-the-fbi\"> pleaded guilty to making false statements\u003c/a> to the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Manafort and Gates indictment unsealed on Monday morning does not make any reference to Russia's influence campaign against the presidential election, but it does allege extensive financial ties between Manafort and Gates and powerful Ukrainians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Papadopoulos materials, on the other hand, detail the many contacts investigators say he had with Russian-linked operatives. He met at least two people, a man and a woman, who the FBI says were working for the Russian government and had boasted to him about the help it could offer the Trump campaign against Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort and Gates \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/30/560782357/paul-manafort-is-reportedly-told-to-surrender-to-federal-agents\">turned themselves in to the FBI\u003c/a> on Monday morning. Papadopoulos' status was unclear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort appeared at the FBI's Washington field office just after 8 a.m. with his lawyer, Kevin Downing. Manafort was escorted into the building by an FBI agent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Appearing after his client's plea, however, Downing sounded like his client and the Trump campaign were one and the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, I think you all saw today that President Donald Trump was correct — there is no evidence that Mr. Manafort or the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government,\" Downing said outside federal court, per NPR's Miles Parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He contended that Manafort was merely representing \"pro-European Union campaigns for the Ukrainian--.\" He added that \"he was seeking to further democracy and to help the Ukraine come closer to the United States and the EU.\" He then pointed out that his client's work in Ukraine ended in 2014 \"over two years before Mr. Manafort served in the Trump campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the indictment was being brought \"using a very novel theory,\" regarding a federal filing under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. He noted that FARA has only been used half a dozen times in the last 50 years and with only one conviction. He's right that the act is seldom-used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Downing then thundered, \"The second thing about this indictment that I myself find most ridiculous is the claim that maintaining offshore accounts to bring all your funds into the United States as a scheme to conceal from the United States government is ridiculous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the special counsel declined to comment to NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"yCv1Q6F0dBXv40CZSzEFwLnIOIrqrjQk\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The materials \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/sco\">are online here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Papadopoulos court documents \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=4163471-George-Papadopoulos-Documents\">are available here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Ukraine connection\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort headed Trump's campaign from June to August of 2016. He stepped down after reports emerged about his business relationship with pro-Russian leaders in Ukraine, allegedly replete with millions of dollars in cash payments and undisclosed lobbying efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The indictment released on Monday charges Manafort and Gates with the extensive use of offshore bank accounts, through which flowed more than $75 million. The document alleges that Manafort laundered more than $18 million of that to conceal it from U.S. authorities and Gates transferred more than $3 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort grew wealthy over a colorful career in his four decades as a Republican operative and lobbyist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He worked for Republican campaigns in the late 1970s and early 1980s before moving into the lucrative world of international lobbying, where he teamed up with Roger Stone to found the firm Black, Manafort, Stone & Kelly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort represented a host of unsavory characters over the years, including Angolan rebel leader Jonas Savimbi, Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos and Zaire's leader Mobutu Sese Seko.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early 2000s, Manafort headed to Ukraine to work as an adviser to the pro-Russian politician Viktor Yanukovych, helping him win the presidency in 2010. Yanukovych was overthrown by a wave of popular protests four years later. He fled to Russia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort later became an early backer of Trump, eventually assuming the role of chairman of his insurgent presidential campaign. Trump and the White House have lately downplayed the role that Manafort played in the 2016 operation. But at the time, their relationship was said to be close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort is \"the one person in the room that calls him 'Donald,' \" as Republican operative Scott Reed \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/07/16/486085582/meet-paul-manafort-the-washington-insider-running-trumps-campaign\">told NPR last year\u003c/a>. \"It's not 'Mr. Trump.' It's 'Donald.'

Trump named Papadopoulos as a foreign-policy adviser to the campaign. Sanders, however, dismissed him merely a \"volunteer member of an advisory council that met one time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders tried to pivot to the Clinton campaign instead, alleging it \"colluded\" with Russian intelligence to craft the so-called \"Steele Dossier.\" The dossier, which collected opposition research on Trump that eventually focused on his ties to Russia, was initially paid for by the conservative Washington Free Beacon website. The site \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/27/us/politics/trump-dossier-paul-singer.html\">is funded in large part \u003c/a>by conservative donor Paul Singer, who was a Trump skeptic and backer of Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio for president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research for the dossier was conducted by a firm called Fusion GPS, run by two former investigative reporters. They hired Chris Steele, a former British spy turned private investigator. He has ties to U.S. intelligence and is known as a Russia expert. As a specialist, they hired him to find more information about Trump's ties in Russia that they couldn't get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the primaries were over, the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee picked up the tab to keep the research going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders called the dossier as \"false information.\" Some of it has been confirmed by some news outlets. Some of it is incendiary and has not been independently confirmed. Sanders dismissed the meeting at Trump Tower between Trump Jr. and Russian nationals as simply \"a meeting that took place\" and \"routine.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not routine. Opposition research is, but not seeking it from foreign governments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders, though, contended the Clinton campaign's and DNC's \"millions of dollars\" paid for the oppo-research file (that it never used) was far worse that Trump Jr.'s meeting — or anything coming out of Monday's court documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They took one meeting, and nothing came of it,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders also said the president had \"no reaction,\" because \"it doesn't have anything to do with us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Not the end of the Mueller investigation\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could be more details to come either from Mueller or the congressional committees that are investigating the Russia imbroglio. Court documents indicate that Papadopoulos has met with the government \"on numerous occasions to provide information and answer questions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is also investigating Russia-Trump ties, called Monday's developments in a statement \"a significant and sobering step in what will be a complex and likely lengthy investigation by the Special Counsel. That is why it is imperative that Congress take action now to protect the independence of the Special Counsel, wherever or however high his investigation may lead.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His office also said he wants bipartisan members of Congress to \"make clear\" to President Trump \"that issuing pardons to any of his associates or to himself would be unacceptable, and result in immediate, bipartisan action by Congress.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has the unfettered ability to pardon anyone from federal crimes. But that only applies to \u003cem>federal \u003c/em>crimes. Some officials, including Manafort, could also face charges at the state level — in New York, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warner also put the guilty plea and indictments in the context of broader developments on the Trump-Russia investigation over the last several months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is just the latest in a series of undisclosed contacts, misleading public statements, potentially compromising information, and highly questionable actions from the time of the Trump campaign that together, remain a cause for deep concern and continued investigation,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there are indications that Papadopoulos is cooperating with federal agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is in the best interest of our client, George Papadopoulos, that we refrain from commenting on George's case,\" his lawyers, Thomas M. Breen and Robert W. Stanley, said in a short statement obtained by NPR's Carrie Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They then added: \"We will have the opportunity to comment on George's involvement when called upon by the Court at a later date. We look forward to telling all of the details of George's story at that time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and other conservatives have tried to sully Mueller's name, hoping to delegitimize his findings as politically motivated.

The document alleges that Manafort laundered more than $18 million of that to conceal it from U.S. authorities and Gates transferred more than $3 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort grew wealthy over a colorful career in his four decades as a Republican operative and lobbyist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He worked for Republican campaigns in the late 1970s and early 1980s before moving into the lucrative world of international lobbying, where he teamed up with Roger Stone to found the firm Black, Manafort, Stone & Kelly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manafort represented a host of unsavory characters over the years, including Angolan rebel leader Jonas Savimbi, Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos and Zaire's leader Mobutu Sese Seko.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early 2000s, Manafort headed to Ukraine to work as an adviser to the pro-Russian politician Viktor Yanukovych, helping him win the presidency in 2010.
