hollywoodreporter.com – by Lexy Perez – During Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, John Oliver addressed the past week’s worth of developments in the Russia investigation led by Robert Mueller and mocked President Trump’s tendency to play the “Trump card.”
In a 31-page indictment, initial charges in Mueller’s investigation of Russian meddling during the presidential election were made against Trump’s former campaign chair Paul Manafort and Manafort’s business partner, Rick Gates. Manafort and Gates were charged with receiving tens of millions of dollars from a pro-Russian Ukrainian political party and hiding that from the Justice Department and IRS. They were also charged with converting more than $75 million to foreign bank accounts.
