Former Trump campaign official Rick Gates was sentenced Tuesday to 45 days in jail and three years of probation, after pleading guilty to lying and conspiracy as part of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. He will be allowed to serve his jail time intermittently on a schedule he works out in the future. Gates' hearing had been postponed several times since 2018, with Mueller's team citing Gates' cooperation in "several ongoing investigations." He was a former associate of ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and had cooperated extensively in the case against his former partner. The counts related to his role concealing millions of dollars he made from lobbying work he and Manafort had done for Ukraine.
