Rick Gates, the longtime business associate of Manafort, was also charged according to reports.

Trump also questioned why the investigation is not focusing on the recent revelations regarding corruption within the Democratic Party.

""Why aren't Crooked Hillary & the Dems the focus?????" Trump tweeted.
