Mr. Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman, was convicted at a financial fraud trial stemming from his earlier work as a consultant for the pro-Russian former leader of Ukraine. On the verge of a second trial, Mr. Manafort agreed to cooperate with the special counsel’s investigators and pleaded guilty to two additional conspiracy charges, but Mr. Mueller later accused him of breaching his plea deal by lying to prosecutors. Mr. Manafort’s right-hand man in Ukraine, Konstantin V. Kilimnik, a Russian Army-trained linguist accused of having ties to Russian intelligence, has also been indicted on a slew of charges, including money laundering and conspiracy against the United States.

Mr. Trump’s firing of Mr. Comey on May 9, 2017, prompted the investigation into whether he was trying to obstruct the Russia inquiry. Among the episodes Mr. Mueller is examining: whether Mr. Trump’s lawyers discussed pardons with Mr. Manafort’s and Mr. Flynn’s lawyers; whether Mr. Trump tried to force former Attorney General Jeff Sessions to take back oversight of the investigation after he recused himself; and whether Mr. Trump tried to fire the special counsel himself.

Mr. Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about his pursuit of the building of a Trump Tower in Moscow, a project that extended well into the 2016 presidential campaign. He also admitted that he had briefed members of the Trump family about those discussions, and that he had minimized Mr. Trump’s role in pursuing a deal. Mr. Cohen agreed to cooperate with the special counsel’s office, which could win him a lighter sentence.

Mr. Mueller is examining whether Mr. Stone knew ahead of time about WikiLeaks’ 2016 releases of stolen Democratic emails. Mr. Stone made comments that appeared to indicate he knew about the plan before the emails were made public.
