Donald Trump’s Campaign Manager Paul Manafort and Business Associate Rick Gates are expected to make their first appearance on Thursday before a judge overseeing a criminal case brought by a special counsel investigating campaign ties to Russia.

Trump’s former Advisor, Carter Page, is scheduled to testify to the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee about his dealings with Russia. Page has denied serving as an intermediary between Trump’s campaign and Russia, which had been under U.S. economic sanctions for several years at the time of last year’s election campaign.

Both Paul Manafort and Rick Gates were charged with conspiracy against the United States, money laundering, and working as unregistered foreign agents. Last Friday, Page met with Senate Intelligence Committee Members behind closed doors as a part of their investigation. A conviction of conspiracy to launder money alone can be given a sentence up to 20 years in prison. The charges did not direct any connections to the Trump campaign or allegation of collusion.

Kevin Downing, Manafort’s lawyer, said Manafort worked for the Ukrainians until 2014, two years before he joined the Trump campaign in March 2016. Manafort served as a Campaign Manager from June to August. Downing said earlier that week that there was no complete evidence. Both Manafort and Gates were put on house arrest and are under unsecured bonds of $10 million and $5 million respectively, which means they do not have to post bail unless they fail to show up for court or violate other conditions. prosecutors argued that their is a risk that the men will flee. they are also subject to electronic monitoring. in a filing with the court, Downing said the government’s case against his client is flimsy and that bail should be softened because Manafort does not pose a flight risk. Gate’s attorney’s made a similar request. Manafort and Gates remained quiet throughout the proceeding.
