Gates and Manafort met with Russia-friendly congressman

Bloomberg reports that the meeting former Trump campaign aide Rick Gates lied about to investigators, to which he pled guilty on Friday, was between Paul Manafort and Congressman Dana Rohrabacher.

Why it matters: Rohrabacher is known for being close to the Kremlin — he came under scrutiny for it in November last year. Gates and Manafort have been charged by special counsel Robert Mueller for not registering foreign lobbying work with the government, money laundering, new tax fraud charges, "and again on Friday with conspiracy and false-statement counts."
