Rick Gates, the former deputy campaign manager for President Trump and ex-business partner of Paul Manafort, faces sentencing on Tuesday
Instead of fighting the charges as Manafort did, Gates pleaded guilty. He agreed to cooperate with Mueller's team and, after the special counsel's office was disbanded, with the U.S. attorneys' offices in Washington and Alexandria. His lawyers and federal prosecutors say he has done everything asked of him.
Gates provided"extraordinary assistance," federal prosecutors said in their memo telling the judge they would not oppose his request for probation."Gates has worked earnestly to provide the government with everything it has asked of him." Gates signed on to the Trump campaign in March 2016 as deputy campaign manager and later served as deputy chairman of the Trump inaugural. He and Manafort were indicted in October 2017. Gates pleaded guilty the following February.
