Ex-Trump Staffer Rick Gates Sentenced To 45 Days

NBC News reports:

Rick Gates, the former deputy campaign manager for Donald Trump and ex-business partner of Paul Manafort, was sentenced to three years probation and 45 days in jail on Tuesday after he cooperated extensively with federal investigators.

Gates and Manafort were the first ex-Trump campaign officials to be charged by former special counsel Robert Mueller, accused of evading taxes and violating lobbying laws by concealing millions of dollars they earned representing pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine.

Gates had pleaded guilty and spent more than 500 hours assisting government lawyers and federal agents.
