The trial for Obama White House counsel Greg Craig , a case spun off by special counsel Robert Mueller, started in Washington, D.C. with jury selection Monday and opening statements Tuesday.

Craig was indicted in April on two felony charges related to the Foreign Agents Registration Act and connected to Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s work in Ukraine.
