Needless to say, but this is huge. The indictments specifically mention several methods of interfering with the 2016 election to benefit Trump, also conspiracy on several counts. What they're actually being charged on are federal crimes, "the indictment charges all of the defendants with conspiracy to defraud the United States, three defendants with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud, and five defendants with aggravated identity theft."
It will be interesting to see how Trump reacts and if there are more indictments to come for the other side of this criminal conspiracy.
Here's a long list of other sources for the same story if anyone's interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/7y0ldo/megathread_office_of_special_counsel_indicts_13/
EDIT: Not only did they work to help him in the general election, but "ADDITIONALLY: The Russians worked during the primaries to undermine Republicans that weren't Donald Trump -- like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. We're asking Cruz for comment." From Texas Tribune.
