Rick Gates, a former top official in President Trump’s campaign, is expected to plead guilty Friday to charges brought by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III in his investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and cooperate with prosecutors, according to a person familiar with the situation.
It is not clear to what charges Gates intends to plead guilty.
Gates could provide the special counsel with valuable information about the inner workings of Trump’s operation: He served as a senior figure in the campaign and had access to the White House as an outside adviser in the early months of the administration.
In October, Gates and Manafort were indicted on 12 charges including conspiracy and money-laundering in connection with their lucrative work advising a Russia-friendly political party in Ukraine.
... paid $17 million between 2012 and 2014. ...All told, more than $75 million flowed through offshore accounts, the special counsel alleged.
