Donald Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort has been charged with 12 offences including "conspiracy against the United States" as part of the investigation into collusion with Russia.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller also says Mr Manafort laundered more than 18 million dollars to buy properties and services, in addition to tax and foreign lobbying charges.
Manafort's associate Rick Gates is also charged with similar offences, and the pair handed themselves into the FBI earlier this afternoon.
They are the first people to be arrested as part of the investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
