DC Bar Offering $5 'Moscow Muellers' For Every Indictment

WASHINGTON, DC -- The Trump Administration's woes are good for D.C.-area bars, as yet another establishment is offering a promotion related to the ongoing mess at the White House. Logan Circle bar The Bird will offer $5 "Moscow Muellers" -- a play on the Moscow Mule cocktail -- every time special counsel Robert Mueller indicts someone in the Trump Administration.

The Moscow Mule is typically made with vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. At $5 a pop, it's half the price of regular cocktails.

It's not the first time The Bird has promoted Trump-themed deals. The bar also offers discounted cocktails anytime President Trump cans an official.

It's also not the first D.C. bar to use Trump's problems as an excuse to sell booze. When James Comey testified before Congress in June, Shaw's Tavern offered patrons Russian-inspired alcoholic beverages for its "Comey Hearing Covfefe" event. People lined up around the block to get into the bar well before 9 a.m. The hearing started at 10 a.m.

Watch Now: DC Bar Offering 'Moscow Muellers' For Every Indictment

Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and campaign aide Rick Gates were indicted by Mueller earlier this week in a 12-count criminal indictment, the first charges filed from Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

The indictment against Manafort and a business associate, Rick Gates, lays out a dozen charges, including conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, acting as an unregistered foreign agent, making false statements and several charges related to failing to report foreign bank and financial accounts. Court documents allege the men moved money through hidden bank accounts in Cyprus, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and the Seychelles.

In total, more than $75 million flowed through the offshore accounts, according to the indictment. Manafort is accused of laundering more than $18 million.

After joining the Trump campaign in March 2016, Manafort moved up quickly and was named chairman and chief strategist, but was fired in August amid reports that he took more than $12 million in undisclosed payments from former Ukrainian president and pro-Russia strongman Viktor F. Yunakovych, for whom he had worked as a political consultant for many years.
