manafort was pushed out in august of 2016 but rick gates stayed on right through election day. gates then served as the number two official on the trump inaugural committee. because he held those key positions rick gates was an up close first person eye witness to what was going on inside the trump campaign at a very high level. in october of 2017 he was first charged alongside manafort on multiple counts including conspiracy, money laundering and acting as an unregistered foreign agent. after prosecutors hit him with another round of felony charges for a total of 31, rick gates flipped. he pleaded guilty to two charges while agreeing to cooperate and provide information to robert mueller's team. this was a pivotal moment in the special counsel investigation. rick gates who knew so much about the inner workings at the very highest levels of the trump campaign was now willing to spill secrets to robert mueller's team. >> cooperation agreement he just signed is probably a nightmare scenario. >> rick gates has been potentially witness to much more than manafort saw. rick gates is a

big wigs who knew they were working for a foreign government because he, rick gates, says he told them they were working for a foreign government. prosecutor says to gates, quote, did you tell them who the client actually was? gates, yes. prosecutor, and who was the client? gates, the government of ukraine. before the 2016 campaign ever happened, president trump's campaign chairman ran this scheme in ukraine. president trump's campaign chairman in prison now. his deputy who was trying to stay out of prison now is acting as a cooperating witness in part by unraveling this scheme in open court. the scheme itself now threatens to put in jail president obama's first white house counsel. it has caused president obama's first white house counsel's super fancy law firm to enter into a formal nonprosecution settlement with the justice department. and now today in court, rick gates started implement k eed i multiple high-end d.c. lobbying firms in the scheme, as well. firms run by democrats and by republicans. you know, part of the story is that the sitting president of the united states turns

now, it's been well more than a year since rick gates pleaded guilty. in he cent months, his sentencing has been delayed, with prosecutors telling the court that gates has continued to cooperate in several ongoing investigations. now we have learned that rick gates has nearly finished his work as a cooperating witness. today, the judge in his case granted a joint motion by the lawyers and government prosecutors. for the pro-dabation office to begin drafting its presentencing report so sentencing can be scheduled soon after his cooperation has been completed. that means they're getting ready to tally up a recommendation for how much time rick gates will spend in prison with a maximum four the six years, likely less than that. the new joint motion from prosecutors and defense lawyers noted gates is a potential witness in three trials, one the trial of roger stone, on seven counts of false statements, witness tampering and obstruction of wikileaks publishing stolen information. rick gates' testimony in that trial could shed light on the redacted parts of th

if it's just a matter of rick gates' word and i told these people and i told them something different, prosecutors will want something solid and corroborating to go with that. >> am i right that gates, however trustworthy he is as a human, has ever insensitive to not be caught out telling an untruth in part because the judge who is about to sentence him taking into account his cooperation and how truthful he has been and how effective he has been as a cooperator for the government, the judge who will sentence him is the same judge who is overseeing this trial right now against craig before whom he was testifying today. >> right. it seemed there were two cases going on. craig's case, which is almost removed from what we were talking about with weber and podesta. but a dry run for the sentencing of rick gates. he was sitting there eight or ten feet akway from the judge. it seemed like he was actually impressing her, despite the history of lies. she defended him during this hearing, blocked defense lawyers from -- she thought they were -- she told them to back off. whether that means he

new court filing, rick gates is still cooperating with prosecutors and is a potential witness in the trials of greg craig for lying about ukrainian work, roger stone for lying about wiki leaks and paul manafort. what is the take away here? >> rick gates seems to be one of the most successful cooperators that the mueller investigation produced. i don't think that there is anything very surprising here. we knew that he would cooperate. the beginning work on a report is relatively routine. it has to happen before a defendant can be sentenced. he has to have access to it sufficiently in advance to review it and make any objections. i think the biggest piece of information we get out of this filing is that apparently gates' cooperation is coming to an end. he won't for instance apparently be a witness in anything to do with the inaugual investigation that is believed to be underway. >> and now phil mud by way of welcoming you here, this is where your life's work intersects with the news today. when you hear the president say you don't really believe that do you? what happens inside you in

rick gates is a former campaign agent who pleaded guilty last year and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in multiple investigations. one of those cases concerns counsel craig who is accused of concealing information from the justice department about working -- work he did for the ukrainian government. emmanuel macron is giving boris johnson little hope that he is prepared to compromise on brexit and says that any changes to the current deal will not be significant. a day after prime minister johnson held talks with angela merkel in berlin, the two met in paris to talk about the brexit impasse. the integrity of the single market, these are all too broad. we talk about sensibility, let me be clear. these two goals have to be met. mark: johnson is demanding that the e.u. scrap the backstop, the mechanism designed to keep the irish border free of checks. in the meantime british opposition leader jeremy corbyn says he will do everything he can to prevent the u.k. from leaving the e.u. without a deal, including calling a no-confidence vote in prime minister johnson's government. and, competing

something, something, redacted, did not see a downside to sharing campaign information and told rick gates that his role in the campaign would be good for business and potentially a way to be made whole for the work he previously completed in ukraine. as to deripaska, manafort claimed that by sharing campaign information with him, deripaska might see value in their relationship. and resolve a disagreement, a reference to one or more outstanding lawsuits. remember deripaska's friend saying manafort owed them a ton of money. >>> so deripaska is this intriguing figure when it comes to russia's attack on our election. deripaska is believed by the uss government to not just be highly connected to the kremlin and to putin's office in particular, he's believed by the u.s. government to have organized crime links as well. as such he has long been barred from getting a visa to visit the united states. but deripaska is doing very well in russia. he's also the head of a huge russian aluminum conglomerate. when it came time to sanction deripaska for his role in russia's attack on our 2016 election, it
