US charges ex-Trump campaign chief Manafort with conspiracy

US President Donald Trump’s former campaign chief Paul Manafort is indicted for conspiracy in connection to his work on the 2016 US presidential election.

Earlier in the day, Manafort and an unidentified man were caught by television cameras walking into the FBI’s Washington field office after US media reported he and a longtime associate had been ordered to surrender.

It was not known what charges have been filed in the case, but they would be the first since US special counsel Robert Mueller took over the Russia probe in May.
