One of the two unnamed companies in the grand jury indictment of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, is reportedly the Podesta Group — a lobbying firm with strong ties to Hillary Clinton.

The indictment, unsealed on Monday, lists two unnamed companies — “Company A” and “Company B” — as firms that Manafort and Gates approached in 2012 to lobby for the pro-Putin Ukrainian government. “Company A” is Mercury Public Affairs and “Company B” is the Podesta Group, NBC News reported.
