Manafort and Rick Gates indicted for conspiracy against the United States.
The indictment is 12-counts and 32 pages and references money laundering, failure to register as foreign operatives, lying to federal officials, non-disclosure of income, etc... The charges reflect activity through 2017.
Gates is a long time business associate of Manafort. He stayed on with the campaign and then worked within the administration after Manafort left (when the Ukraine ledger payment story broke).
There is nothing in this first indictment directly related to collusion and there is no reference to others in the Trump campaign or administration.
