The son-in-law of a Russian oligarch, who used to work at renowned law firm Skadden, Arps, has been charged with lying to federal authorities investigating alleged links between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Alex van der Zwaan, is accused of making false or misleading statements regarding email communications with Richard Gates, a former Trump campaign official and a associate of onetime Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort.

Van der Zwaan is due in a U.S. district court in Washington on Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. EST.

"The firm terminated its employment of Alex van der Zwaan in 2017 and has been cooperating with authorities in connection with this matter," Skadden said in a statement to CNBC.

Both Gates and Manafort had previously been criminally charged by special counsel Robert Mueller's office.

Van der Zwaan was charged Friday by an instrument known as an information, which is typically used by prosecutors when their target has already agreed to plead guilty.

Van der Zwaan is married to the daughter of German Khan, a Russian oligarch who is suing research firm Fusion GPS over a dossier alleging salacious and unverified ties between President Donald Trump and Russia.
