Washington (CNN) Rick Gates, one of the most significant former Trump campaign advisers who flipped on President Donald Trump in the Mueller investigation, was sentenced to 45 days in jail and three years probation by a federal judge Tuesday morning. What Gates told prosecutors about the Trump campaign and Manafort has since been corroborated by extensive documentation, the judge noted Tuesday. Jackson also said that Gates' information prompted the Justice Department to appropriately authorize the investigation into Russian interference and the Trump campaign. "I accept complete responsibility for my actions," Gates told Jackson on Tuesday. Trump told him he expected more information to come.
