Former Trump campaign deputy chair and top Mueller cooperator Rick Gates has asked to change his jail sentence to home confinement because of the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new filing in his court case.

Gates was to do the time after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy for working with Paul Manafort's financially fraudulent Ukrainian lobbying operation and for lying to investigators.
