Mueller's team has leveled over 100 criminal charges against 19 people

To date, Mueller’s team has brought more than 100 criminal counts against 19 different individuals. In four cases, the individuals pleaded guilty before the charges were made public. Thirteen of the individuals are Russian nationals involved in efforts to influence the 2016 election through social media. Four of the individuals facing or pleading to charges worked for or with Trump’s campaign team.
Fifty-eight of the charges are contained in two indictments against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his longtime business partner Rick Gates. Before Thursday, that total was only 17, but a spate of new charges involving bank and tax fraud boosted the total significantly.
None of the charges, it’s important to note, tie Trump’s team to Russian interference directly. But over the past week, 15 new individuals have been accused of criminal behavior by Mueller’s team: the Russians, a businessman alleged to have provided the Russians with bank account numbers and a lawyer who worked with Manafort and Gates.
In many ways, it’s what still might be out there that’s most interesting.
