Paul Manafort, Who Once Ran Trump Campaign, Surrenders to F.B.I.

**************************

The nature of kingship in William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth follows the events that occur during Macbeth’s unlawful rise to the throne......The themes of greed, arrogance and excessive political ambition are still, very relevant to the world today. Shakespeare got it right - his story of Macbeth still applies to today's world....

Former Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort To Surrender In Russia Probe Former Manafort business associate Rick Gates also is expected to be charged.

Paul Manafort, onetime campaign chairman to President Donald Trump, and former business associate Rick Gates have been told to surrender to federal authorities, multiple news outlets reported on Monday. Manafort was spotted by reporters leaving his condo in Virginia early on Monday.

Manafort and Gates are expected to be charged in an intensifying investigation into Russian meddling in the United States’ 2016 presidential election.

The office of special counsel Robert Mueller, which is conducting the probe, is expected to serve the indictment on Monday. The apparent forthcoming arrests come three days after news broke that a federal grand jury in Washington had filed the first charges stemming from Mueller’s investigation.

Mr. Gates is a longtime protégé and junior partner of Mr. Manafort. His name appears on documents linked to companies that Mr. Manafort’s firm set up in Cyprus to receive payments from politicians and businesspeople in Eastern Europe, records reviewed by The New York Times show.

Mr. Manafort had been under investigation for violations of federal tax law, money laundering and whether he appropriately disclosed his foreign lobbying.
