Before commenting on the headlines above, I want to say I totally agreed with the government's move to ban the 2 foreign preachers who preaches divisive religious views fr entry into Sgp, even it is to preach in a cruise in "open" water!! Also the banning of 4 books that promote such views.
"Manafort charged with conspiracy against US, money-laundering
WASHINGTON: Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was charged Monday with conspiracy against the United States and money laundering, the first to come out of a sprawling probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Manafort and business partner Rick Gates, who served as his deputy in the Trump campaign, were charged with allegedly hiding millions of dollars they earned working for former Ukrainian leader Viktor Yanukovych and his pro-Moscow political party.
Special counsel Robert Mueller announced the 12 charges against the two, the first against any close former Trump aides stemming from a federal probe into possible collusion in Russia's effort to tilt the US presidential election in Trump's favour.
Manafort, 68, served the Trump campaign June to August of 2016 before resigning amid reports he may have received millions in illegal payments from a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine.
Investigations into Russian links with the Trump campaign, including Mueller's and probes by several congressional panels, have dogged Trump's presidency since the Republican took office in January.
Trump has denied any allegations of collusion with the Russians and called the probes "a witch hunt." The Kremlin also has denied the allegations."
1st of many charges against Trump's campaign stalwarts n precipitate the fall of President Trump n the need to hv another Presidential election (which is time consuming n expensive) or just install the losing candidate, Hillary, as the 1st female, finally, US President?
We live interesting time n anything is possible! or NOT?
Don't "play play" with the great USA system as even the President cannot hide if he has done something unethical n illegal!!
