The Latest: Trump says Podesta resignation biggest story
WASHINGTON (AP) â The Latest on President Donald Trump and the Russia investigation (all times local):
 President Donald Trump  is tweeting that the "biggest story" out of the charges announced Monday in the Russia investigation is the resignation of Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta from his eponymous firm.
"The biggest story yesterday  the one that has the Dems in a dither  is Podesta running from his firm  " Trump  wrote in a two-part tweet that contained grammatical errors. "What  he  know about Crooked Dems is....earth shattering "  he  tweeted.
 The president  added  " He  and  his  brother could Drain The Swamp  which would be yet another campaign promise fulfilled. Fake News weak!"
Court papers unsealed Monday revealed an indictment against  Trump 's former campaign chairman  Paul Manafort  and a guilty plea by another adviser  who admitted to lying to the FBI about meetings with Russian intermediaries.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says he sees nothing wrong with a former campaign adviser to  President Donald Trump  reaching out to a Kremlin-linked think tank.
Court papers unsealed on Monday revealed that George Papadopoulos who worked on the  Trump  campaign had reached out to a Russian he believed to have links to the Russian foreign ministry to arrange a meeting between the  Trump  team and Russian officials.
 President Donald Trump  says a campaign adviser who has admitted to lying to the FBI about meetings with Russian intermediaries was a "low level volunteer" who was "proven to be a liar."
 Trump  on Twitter Tuesday sought to distance  himself  from George Papadopoulos: "Few people knew the young  low level volunteer named George  who has already proven to be a liar."
Court papers unsealed Monday also revealed an indictment against  Trump 's former campaign chairman  Paul Manafort.
 Trump  said the allegations happened "long before"  he  joined the campaign. But the indictment details allegations stretching from 2006 to 2017.
A personal lawyer for  President Donald Trump  says  the president  is not planning to fire Robert Mueller  the special counsel in the Russia probe. And  Jay Sekulow (SEHK'-yoo-loh) says  pardons for his former campaign aides facing federal charges "are not on the table."
Sekulow's comments to ABC's "Good Morning America" come a day after a former  Trump  aide admitted lying to the FBI about meeting with Russian intermediaries and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort pleaded not guilty to money laundering and conspiracy charges.

The Kremlin says Russia is not implicated by the first criminal cases against associates of  President Donald Trump .
Peskov also says that connections between former  Trump  foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos and a man he believed to have links to the Russian Foreign Ministry did not prove any complicity by the Russian government.
