That detail is revealed in a court document filed late Monday by special counsel Robert Mueller defending the scope of his investigation.

Paul Manafort, who led the Trump campaign for parts of 2016, has challenged Mueller's authority and asked a judge to dismiss an indictment against him.

But in its court filing, Mueller disclosed a memo from last August in which Rosenstein specified allegations that were within the scope of his investigation.

Among those is an allegation that Manafort colluded with Russian government officials to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

None of the charges Manafort currently faces alleges coordination with the Kremlin.

Gov. Mary Fallin signed legislation last week increasing taxes on cigarettes, fuel and oil and gas production to provide teachers with raises of about $6,100, or 15 to 18 percent. The Oklahoma walkout Monday was inspired by West Virginia teachers who won a 5 percent raise after going on strike. Arizona teachers are now considering a strike over their demands for a 20 percent salary increase.

Many Oklahoma schools, including the three largest districts of Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Edmond, are closed Monday. Rally organizers say it isn't clear how long the walkout will last.

The president is making that pledge a day after retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens expressed a different view. Stevens wrote in The New York Times that repealing the Second Amendment would help Congress enact gun control measures.

"THE SECOND AMENDMENT WILL NEVER BE REPEALED!" Trump tweeted early Wednesday. "As much as Democrats would like to see this happen, and despite the words yesterday of former Supreme Court Justice Stevens, NO WAY. We need more Republicans in 2018 and must ALWAYS hold the Supreme Court!"

The Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that the amendment lets people own guns for self-defense.

Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon asked the group on Tuesday for a detailed breakdown of their media expenditures in the past three years purchased with foreign money.

The ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee says he also wants communications and other internal NRA metrics regarding those media campaigns.

NRA attorney John Frazer wrote to Wyden last week that the tax-exempt group receives some foreign funding. He said none of the money is spent on elections.

A left-leaning advocacy group has asked the Federal Election Commission to investigate whether an ally of Russia's president gave to the group during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Damian Collins, chairman of Parliament's media committee, urged Zuckerberg to "think again" Tuesday about choosing not to appear and repeated an offer to have him testify via video link.  

Facebook has offered to send chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer or chief product officer Chris Cox.

Zuckerberg is also under pressure to appear before the U.S. Congress following allegations that consultants Cambridge Analytica harvested details of 50 million Facebook users and used the material in President Donald Trump's 2016 election.

Now the Federal Trade Commission says it's investigating the social media giant's privacy practices.

Plus, lawmakers in Washington and attorneys general for 37 U.S. states and territories are demanding answers and calling for inquiries.

And officials across Europe have also been raising questions.

That's according to a new poll that found a majority of gun owners and half of Republicans favor new laws to address gun violence in the weeks after a Florida school shooting left 17 dead and sparked nationwide protests.

The poll, conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, found that nearly 7 in 10 adults favor stricter gun control measures. That's the strongest level of support since The Associated Press first asked the question five years ago. The new poll also found that nearly half of Americans do not expect elected officials to take action.

The new poll finds support for specific gun control measures even among those who bristle at the term "gun control."

 Senate passage on Friday shortly after midnight averted a third federal shutdown this year, an outcome both parties wanted to avoid. But in crafting a sweeping deal that busts budget caps, they've stirred conservative opposition and set the contours for the next funding fight ahead of the midterm elections.

The House easily approved the measure Thursday, 256-167.
