It's being reported that Rick Gates is negotiating a plea deal with Mueller and will soon plead guilty in exchange for a light sentence.
Gates (along with his previous boss Manafort) is facing some very serious financial / laundering charges. Unlike Manafort, Gates was not only a key part of the transition team, but also stayed on and served as an advisor in the White House. So, he presumably has valuable information to help connect the dots for investigators.
Yesterday, it was announced that Manafort was hit with more bank fraud charges. Today, a lawyer for Gates (one from a prominent law firm) was indicted for lying to investigators. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/20/politics/...index.html
