Former Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his associate, rick gates, are the first to face charges in the russia election probe and there may be others soon. Both men pleaded not guilty yesterday to a dozen charges. They include conspiracy against the United States, Money Laundering, and tax fraud. We also learned yesterday that George Papadopoulos, a Foreign Policy advisor to the Trump Campaign, pleaded guilty to other charges. He admits he lied to the fbi about his contacts with russian interests. The 30yearold had no prior criminal record. Papadopoulos was arrested july 27th at Washington Dulles International airport. His case was under seal for the last three months while special Counsel Robert Mueller investigated possible Trump Campaign links to russia. The government calls papadopoulos, quote, a proactive cooperator. Jeff pegues is in washington with a look at what that means and where this investigation is heading. Jeff, good morning. Reporter good morning. That term indicates that George Papadopoulos may be actively working with the special counsels office to reveal who in the Trump Campaign knew that he was communicating with russian operatives and when. Papadopoulos arrest and guilty plea was a bombshell yesterday, showing that he too was offered damaging information on Hillary Clinton by russian operatives. So help me god. Reporter two days after President Trumps inauguration, George Papadopoulos was in israel and appeared to still be acting on behalf of the campaign. A new relationship between the United States and all of israel. Reporter according to court documents, less than a year earlier, papadopoulos began emailing Trump Campaign officials and pushing meetings with russian operatives. At a National Security meeting on march 31, 2016, papadopoulos told mr. Trump that he had connections that could help arrange a meeting between then candidate trump and president putin. Ten days earlier, mr. Trump introduced his newly minted Foreign Policy team to editors from the Washington Post. George papadopoulos. Hes an oil and energy consultant, excellent guy. Reporter but on monday night, mr. Trumps lawyer told cbs news that the president definitely doesnt have a clue who George Papadopoulos is. Papadopoulos communication with the russian operatives began when the main contact, nicknamed the professor, told him in april of 2016 that he had dirt on then candidate Hillary Clinton, including thousands of emails. That occurred well before the Democratic National committee made the intrusion by Russian Hackers public. In may, 2016, papadopoulos emailed a Highranking Campaign official. Russia has been eager to meet mr. Trump. That email was forwarded with this commentary. Donald trump is not doing these trips. It should be someone low level in the campaign so as not to send any signal. In august, after mr. Trump accepted the republican nomination for president , a Campaign Supervisor encouraged papadopoulos to make the trip to russia if it is feasible. Another former trump Foreign Policy advisor, carter page, did make a trip to russia, where he gave a speech in july of 2016. Page was asked last night whether he had exchanged emails with papadopoulos. Probably a few, yeah. Were you in email chains with him about russia . It may have come up from time to time. Reporter carter page and several other Trump Campaign officials have been under fbi scrutiny for more than a year now. Papadopoulos is facing up to five years in prison, but he wont be sentenced until the Mueller Investigation is over. All right, jeff, thank you so much. The indictment against Paul Manafort and rick gates claims they set up a Money Laundering scheme that hid tense of millions of dollars from a prorussian political party. The two men funneled more than 75 million through foreign banks. Manafort used his hidden overseas wealth to enjoy a lavish lifestyle. Hes accused of spending more than 6 million on renovations and landscaping for this home on new yorks long island in the hamptons. The indictment said manafort also spent nearly a Million Dollars at a virginia rug store and millions more on clothing, antiques and luxury cars. First indictments in the russia investigation put the white house on the defensive. President trump wanted to focus on his tax overhaul this week before he goes on a trip to asia. Margaret brennan is at the white house. Reporter good morning. They expect the investigation to wrap up soon and say its business as usual. The president s lawyer insists the president is not considering firing Robert Mueller. The president and first lady handed out candy on the south lawn, after white house officials said they werent at all spooked by the bombshell indictments on monday. Were not worried about it distracting because it doesnt have anything to do with us. Reporter chief of staff john kelly tried to distance the president from the unfolding controversy. All of the activities as i understand it that they were indicted for was long before they met donald trump. Reporter but he told fox news that he and the president discuss the probe multiple times a day. Its very distracting to the president , as it would be to any citizen, to be investigated. Reporter while reports swirled that the president was fuming monday as the russia indictments played out on tv, a senior republican told the Washington Post everyone is freaking out. But white house lawyer ty cobb pushed back, telling cbs news, i dont know where the perception of agita comes from, but its not real, and the walls are not caving in. Reporter Paul Manafort has done an amazing job. The president claimed any actions by Paul Manafort predated the election, tweeting, sorry, but this is years ago before Paul Manafort was part of the Trump Campaign. But the indictment contradicted that claim. Details of manaforts criminal activities range from 2006 to february of this year, and hes accused of laundering money during the campaign. He was a volunteer. Reporter White House Press secretary Sarah Sanders also insisted George Papadopoulos, who pled guilty to lying to federal agents, attempted to arrange meetings with russian officials on his own accord. The actions that he took would have been on his own. Reporter of course that papadopoulos plea agreement that was made public yesterday revealed that he actually was encouraged by a Trump Campaign advisor to pursue that contact with the russians. Charlie, the president has not commented on those charges. Margaret, thanks. Paula reid is at the Federal District court in washington where Paul Manafort and rick gates appeared yesterday. Paula, good morning. Let me start with this. Whats the significance with the charges against manafort and especially papadopoulos . Reporter this is incredibly significant. While the white house can certainly try to distance themselves from Paul Manaforts business dealings or his luxurious lifestyle, here you have a Campaign Aide who has evidence that there were efforts to set up meetings between russia and the Trump Campaign and also has some evidence suggesting that the Trump Campaign knew that the russians were in possession of some of Hillary Clintons emails. As witnesses also cooperating, it completely changes the narrative of what this investigation is about. What does the indictment send . What message does it send not only to the Trump Administration but across the legal board . Reporter well, lets look at the choreography yesterday. This news leaked out over the course of the weekend. You had several days for anticipation to build. There were cameras lining the sidewalks as manafort went to turn himself in. The special counsel took an unusual step of issuing a press release with the indictment. And just as we were through digesting all the details in that indictment, we have this bombshell out of chicago that not only does mueller have another set of charges, he has a cooperating witness with evidence that, again, points to this question of conspiracy or collusion. To that very point, paula, he was arrested, papadopoulos, about three months ago and in these Additional Court filings last night he is called a proactive cooperator. What might that mean . Reporter some people have suggested that could mean he wore a wire or has been already cooperating and trying to gain evidence. At this point my sources cannot establish or prove that question. But going forward, it means hes going to be a problem for the Trump White House. All right. Thank you very much, paula. A leading Democratic Party lobbyist is under scrutiny after his firm was linked to Paul Manaforts indictment. Tony podesta resigned from the Podesta Group yesterday. He is the brother of john podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clintons campaign. The Podesta Group lobbied for a prorussian Ukrainian Group with tied to manafort. Manafort asked two Unnamed Companies to lobby on behalf of russian interests in ukraine. The Podesta Group did not confirm it was one of those companies. The firm says it has fully cooperated with the special counsels office and taken every possible step to provide documentation that confirms compliance with the law.

Investigators in niger are working to find the organizers of an attack that killed four american soldiers. Debora patta is at nigers capital. One issue is where the army unit was operating in a region beyond the units control. Debora, good morning. Reporter good morning. We spoke to a nigerien soldier who claims he personally knew the four americans that were killed and they trained him in terrorism tactics. He recalls cracking military jokes with them despite the language barrier. Now, he believes the ambushed troops were deliberately delayed in the village of tongo tongo. The government has absolutely no control there and is investigating the suspicion that some of the villagers might have been complicit in this attack. This is one of the most remote and chaotic war zones in the world. There are more than a dozen extremist groups operating between the border between mali and niger. This particular attack was coordinated by isis and led by abu walid al american troops would have gotten attention and that begs the question why they went in with very little backup. Thank you.
