WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) -- Special counsel Robert Mueller filed a new indictment on Thursday against U.S. President Donald Trump's former campaign aides, Paul Manafort and Rick Gates.

The new indictment, filed in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, state of Virginia, includes new allegations of tax evasion and bank fraud against Manafort, former Trump campaign chief, and Gates, a former campaign aide.

The pair were charged last October with money laundering, conspiracy and other offenses in federal court in Washington. They pleaded not guilty to those charges, which were also filed by Mueller.

The new indictment came a week after Mueller sought charges against 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities, accusing them of interfering in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections.
