    A federal grand jury indicted Gates and Manafort on charges arising from years of work for Ukrainian clients, including conspiracy, money laundering, unregistered foreign-agent activity, and false statements. The indictment was allegation, not proof. Gates later pleaded guilty to conspiracy and lying to investigators and cooperated, while other original counts were dismissed under his plea agreement.
