KEILAR: A high-profile Democrat has been indicted in a case connected to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. Greg Craig is due in federal court in Washington any time now to enter a plea. He served as White House counsel during the Obama administration and Craig is accused of lying and concealing information about work that he performed in Ukraine. Illinois Democratic Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi is joining us now from Chicago. Sir, thanks for being with us.</s>REP. RAJA KRISHNAMOORTHI (D-IL): Thank you.</s>KEILAR: What's your reaction to this prominent former Obama White House official facing charges?</s>KRISHNAMOORTHI: Well, as you know, it was connected to work that was done with Paul Manafort and in connection with promoting the interests of pro-Russian Ukrainian forces. And it had nothing to do with his time in the White House. However, he was not candid, and, in fact, he lied to investigators about the extent of his promotion of their interests. And as we've learned from the Paul Manafort case and others, if you lie to federal investigators, you basically jeopardize going to prison.</s>KEILAR: What do you think this does to the president's argument that this is a political -- basically that it's all sort of Democrats on Republicans. He tries to say that it -- the Mueller team is all Democrats. They are not. And that this is sort of a political witch hunt.
