Two of the counts included campaign finance crimes, which he said he was directed to carry out by Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;He has certainly implicated Donald Trump, he&#8217;s making clear the connections here,&quot; Warren said. &quot;And I&#8217;m sure that everybody is listening who is involved in the investigation of the deeper relationship between Russia, the Trump campaign, Donald Trump himself.
