Former Trump campaign aide Rick Gates sentenced to 45 days in jail, more than prosecutors sought for the key witness in Russia probe
WASHINGTON — Former Trump campaign aide Rick Gates was sentenced Tuesday to 45 days in jail, a departure from a probation sentence that prosecutors said he deserved in exchange for being a key witness in the Russia investigation.
But the judge said a short incarceration is"appropriate," saying she has seen defendants from less privileged backgrounds spend more time behind bars for lesser crimes. Gates testified against two of them: former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and longtime Trump ally Roger Stone. Both were convicted.in Washington in October 2017. They were charged with failing to register as foreign agents for work they did for Ukraine and making false statements to investigators to conceal that work.
