The London-based son-in-law of a Russian businessman is set to plead guilty Tuesday afternoon in Washington to making false statements in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, according to a new court filing.
Alex Van der Zwaan was charged with one count of making false statements, a felony, about his work as an attorney employed by a law firm engaged in 2012 by the Ukraine Ministry of Justice to prepare a report on the trial of former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
Tymoshenko was imprisoned by former president Viktor Yanukovych for signing in 2009 a controversial gas supply deal with Russia. Van der Zwaan is the son-in-law of Russian oligarch German Khan.
U.S. prosecutors in Mueller’s office said the case was related to former Trump 2016 presidential campaign manager Paul Manafort, who was an adviser to Yanukovych.

Manafort is going to be squeezed until he squeals. Plus the Trump crime family is getting a very clear message about the need to be truthful, something they have a very difficult time doing. Send lawyers, guns and money - the shit has hit the fan.
