Special counsel Robert Mueller has filed a charge against a lawyer for lying to investigators about his interaction with former Trump campaign aide Rick Gates in September 2016.
Alex Van Der Zwaan is expected to plead guilty Tuesday afternoon. The filing is further evidence of Mueller's investigation of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Gates and their work for Russian-allied clients.
He is also accused of lying about the failure to turn over an email communication to the special counsel's office. He was speaking with investigators about his work with Skadden Arps in 2012 when the firm did work for the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice to prepare a report on the trial of Yulia Tymoshenko.
Van Der Zwaan has a plea hearing scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at US District Court in Washington, DC.

The tea leaves for this was when the lawyers for Gates stepped down a few weeks ago.

The problem with this shooting, as well as all the others, was the refusal to act.

meanwhile over at the Clinton, and obama house they are laughing at getting away thus far with all their crimes.
No investigation into Clinton when we clearly know crimes were done.\\F-IN DISGUSTING.

"WTF is going on here?"
What we are experiencing g is classic lawfare. The Democrats are using the special counsel to punish anyone who dared to work in the trumpet ministration. They know they can't remove President Trump so they're going to find ways to punish anyone who works for him because they are guilty of working for Trump
President Trump has got to stop this bleeding or his allies will melt away..
