White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway was tripped up hard on Twitter Thursday after she crowed about a White House official “finally” indicted in “connection with the Mueller investigation.” She was referring to former Obama administration lawyer Gregory Craig. Conway had apparently forgotten about Michael Flynn, Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, who committed his crimes while working for Trump. Craig was indicted Thursday for allegedly making false statements and hiding information from the Justice Department related to his work with former Trump campaign manager (and now convicted felon) Paul Manafort on behalf of a pro-Russian political group in Ukraine. Craig worked with Manafort two years after he left the Obama administration as White House counsel. His attorneys have called the charges unfair and misleading.
