Rick Gates Tell-All Book To Be Published In October

The New York Times reports:

He was the star witness in the Russia investigation, whose testimony helped convict two powerful advisers to the president. Now, Rick Gates, a high-level aide on Donald J. Trump’s 2016 campaign, is preparing to tell his story in a memoir that will be published weeks before the 2020 election.

Mr. Gates, who was sentenced to 45 days in jail for lying to investigators and for his role in a criminal financial scheme, is the latest former aide to join a parade of former Trump campaign and administration officials who have published memoirs.

Given his proximity to President Trump’s campaign, and the evidence he provided against two of Mr. Trump’s closest advisers, his onetime campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and his onetime campaign adviser, Roger J. Stone Jr., Mr. Gates’s account is likely to generate interest across the political spectrum.

The book is titled Wicked Game: How Trump Won, Mueller Failed, And America Lost. Expect Trump to try to stop it.
