Gates was a longtime business associate and protégé of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, who is also being targeted in Mueller’s investigation. On Thursday, a grand jury returned 32 indictments against Manafort and Gates for a wide range of tax, financial, and bank fraud crimes, including the laundering of $30 million.
As part of the plea deal, Gates is expected to cooperate with Mueller’s investigation against Manafort, and potentially others who have yet to be indicted.
