A federal grand jury has indicted Greg Craig, President Barack Obama’s former White House counsel, on charges of lying to Justice Department investigators.
Graig, 74, was indicted Thursday for making false statements and concealing material information about his work on behalf of Ukraine. The indictment didn’t come as a surprise for Craig, who said he expected to be indicted by federal authorities.
The case reportedly stems from special counsel Robert Mueller’s 22-month investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. President Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort was convicted on a number of charges, including some related to his work in Ukraine.
Craig was twice interviewed by Mueller’s team, who reportedly probed work he did and statements he made when his then-law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, was working for then-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich, a Russian ally.

:laugh: You're probably right. In fact, @corbe could do a poll on how long it will take for them to do just that.
