A federal grand jury indicted Greg Craig, a prominent Democratic attorney who worked for two presidents, Obama and Clinton, charging him with false statements and concealing material information in connection with work he performed for Ukraine.
Craig, 74, is the highest-profile Democrat to be indicted in a matter stemming from Mueller's work, which resulted in charges against numerous Republicans connected to President Donald Trump.
The case is being handled by the US Attorney's office for the District of Columbia in connection with the Justice Department's national security division.
Craig was charged with misleading the Justice Department about his role in writing a report in 2012 on the prosecution of Yulia Tymoshenko, a former Ukrainian prime minister, while he was a partner at the law firm Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom. Manafort arranged to hire Skadden on behalf of the Ukrainian government, although a Ukrainian oligarch paid most of the firm’s fees, according to the indictment.
