Mueller probe asks for 60 more days to set sentencing date for No. 2 Trump campaign and inaugural aide.
By Spencer S. Hsu Spencer S. Hsu Investigative reporter Email Bio Follow March 15 at 11:35 AM Rick Gates, the former top deputy to one-time Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, continues to cooperate with investigators in “several ongoing investigations” and so, is not ready for sentencing, according to a Friday court filing.
The request to hold off on delivering Gates his sentence comes amid heightened speculation about whether the special counsel probe might be winding down in a week that saw Manafort receive a total of 7-1/2 years in prison for his pair of federal cases growing out of the Mueller probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
He testified for the government against his former boss at Manafort’s August fraud trial in Virginia, which preceded Manafort’s guilty plea in another federal case in Washington. His sentencing has been put off several times, and Flynn’s lawyers sought the latest delay citing his potential cooperation in a pending federal trial of a one of Flynn’s business partner in Virginia.The signs of ongoing activity in cases spawned by Mueller’s remain even amid activity that shows the team he assembled is readying to disband.
Gates worked closely for years as Manafort’s right-hand man as a political consultant in Ukraine and as his deputy on the presidential campaign.
