Federal prosecutors say former Donald Trump campaign aide Rick Gates should receive probation for his work with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, a major boost for one of the most damaging witnesses against the Trump campaign for Mueller.
In a court filing Tuesday, prosecutors describe how Gates testified against Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and Greg Craig, and recounted details about Trump on the campaign trial. They note he has helped them with at least one ongoing investigation-- and still could help with unnamed matters.
"The government believes he has been entirely candid about his and other's criminality," prosecutors said. The prosecutors also more broadly applauded Gates for turning on Manafort and others so quickly, in February 2018, as the Mueller investigators were seeking wide-ranging details about the Trump campaign, Russian interference in the election and Manafort's ties to Ukraine.
