Here’s who could receive Mueller’s indictment

Mueller is currently leading the special counsel investigation into Russia's alleged ties to President Donald Trump's campaign. The president, and associates that are involved, have all repeatedly denied wrongdoing in any capacity.

The charges are still sealed by order of a judge, but NBC News confirmed with multiple sources on Saturday that an indictment would be served and made public on Monday. The story corroborated the original report by CNN.
