A federal judge sentenced President Trump's former deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates, charged in the Mueller probe, to serve 45 days in jail and 36 months of probation
WASHINGTON - A federal judge sentenced U.S. President Donald Trump’s former deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates to serve an intermittent term of 45 days in jail and 36 months of probation, saying that while she was moved by his extensive cooperation with prosecutors, she still felt some punishment was in order.
Jackson also said he will be required to pay a $20,000 fine, complete community service and continue cooperating in several still-ongoing investigations. “I greatly regret the mistakes I have made and I have worked hard to honor my commitment to make amends. My family and I appreciate your consideration for leniency, and I hope and pray that you will give that to me.”
Gates’ defense attorney Thomas Green had tried to persuade Jackson to sentence his client to probation, and prosecutors did not push back on that recommendation. “I am quite certain they are here to acknowledge the genuine contributions that Mr. Gates made to their continuing investigations,” he told the judge.He testified against Manafort, his former business partner and mentor, who was convicted in Virginia of financial fraud in August 2018 and is now serving a 7-1/2-year prison sentence. Manafort served as Trump’s campaign chairman.
