Court filings show associate of Manafort, Gates allegedly had ties to Russian intel
New court filings assert that a business associate of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, allegedly had ties to Russian intelligence including during the 2016 presidential campaign when the three were in contact.
Perhaps most strikingly - Gates allegedly knew of those ties.

The sentencing memorandum does not say that the alleged connections to someone with ties to Russian intelligence include any links to the Trump campaign.
The allegations are included in a federal court filing on Tuesday night from Special Counsel Robert Mueller related to next week's sentencing of attorney Alex van der Zwaan, a 33-year old Dutch national who was the fourth person to plead guilty in the ongoing Russia investigation. Van der Zwaan had previously worked with Manafort, Gates, and a person the prosecution referred to only as "a Ukrainian business associate of Manafort and Gates (Person A)" on a Ukraine-based political project.
Mueller is doing a great job identifying repub corruption. LOCK THEM UP!
