Rick Gates, Paul Manafort's Business Partner, Expected To Plead Guilty
Rick Gates, the business partner of Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, is expected to plead guilty to the charges brought against the two men this week.
A person familiar with the case confirmed to NPR on Friday that Gates has been negotiating with the office of special counsel Robert Mueller to change his plea from not guilty and cooperate with investigators.
The details weren't clear on Friday morning but there had been signs beforehand, including suggestions based on Gates' arrangements with his legal team, that a plea deal might be in the works.
