''Yeah, but Trump never colluded with them''

The investigation led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election resulted in the indictment of 34 individuals and three Russian businesses. Among those indicted, several individuals were associated with Donald Trump's campaign or administration. However, none of the charges directly related to collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to influence the election outcome.
Five people associated with Trump were sentenced to prison for various offenses uncovered during the investigation:
1. **Paul Manafort**, former Trump campaign chairman, was sentenced to over seven years in prison for financial crimes related to his lobbying work in Ukraine[1][5].
2. **Rick Gates**, a former Trump campaign official, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and making false statements, although he avoided additional charges through a plea agreement[1][5].
3. **Michael Cohen**, Trump's former personal attorney, was sentenced to three years in prison for campaign finance violations and other financial crimes, including making false statements to Congress[1][5].
4. **George Papadopoulos**, a former Trump campaign adviser, was sentenced to 14 days in prison for making false statements to the FBI about his contacts with Russian nationals[1][2][5].
5. **Alex van der Zwaan**, a Dutch lawyer, served 30 days in prison for lying to federal investigators about his interactions with Rick Gates[1][2][5].
The investigation did not conclude that Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia, and no charges were brought against Trump himself, partly due to legal opinions that a sitting president cannot be indicted[2][5].
