Rick Gates has agreed to cooperate with Mueller's team. Here's what he might know.
tulc(MAGA by President Trump having lots of his people be charged and them pleading guilty?)Rick Gates, the longtime business partner of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, has decided to plead guilty and cooperate with prosecutors, ending weeks of speculation about his fate and highlighting what has long remained true: Gates and Manafort are in deep trouble, and that is a big problem for President Donald Trump.
The New York Times reported Friday morning that Gates will plead guilty as soon as Friday afternoon. A criminal information document filed in Washington on Friday indicates Gates will divulge what he knows to Robert Mueller’s team. Gates, along with Manafort, was indicted in October on charges related to money laundering, fraud, and unregistered foreign lobbying. A superseding indictment unveiled Thursday added tax evasion and bank fraud charges.
