WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the Russia investigation (all times local):

3:05 p.m.

President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman is maintaining his innocence after his longtime business associate pleaded guilty to federal charges.

Paul Manafort says in a statement that the plea by Rick Gates on Friday does not change his commitment to defend himself against what he calls "untrue piled up charges." Manafort says he had "hoped and expected" that Gates would have "the strength" to continue to trial. He says Gates chose to plead guilty for "reasons yet to surface."

4. Anyone else think Manafort has been hanging

out in Russia for so long he forgot how the US justice system works. I think he has gotten away with so much for so long he really believed he would never get caught. I keep going back to how does Pence fit in to all this. I bet Mueller wonders the same thing.
