Mueller: Former Trump campaign official Rick Gates 'continues to cooperate' in several investigations

>Former Trump campaign official Rick Gates "continues to cooperate with respect to several ongoing investigations," special counsel Robert Mueller said in court filing Friday.

>Gates, alongside Manafort, had initially been charged by special counsel Robert Mueller's prosecutors with money laundering, misleading investigators and other crimes.

>In February 2018, Gates struck a deal with prosecutors, pleading guilty to two criminal counts including conspiracy and lying to FBI agents.

>Since then, Gates appears to have cooperated extensively with Mueller's team. His most visible role as a cooperating witness came in August, when he testified against Manafort in his tax and bank fraud trial in Virginia federal court.
