Ex-Trump Aide Pleads Guilty & Agrees to Cooperate with Mueller Probe
--------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump's former deputy campaign manager, Rick Gates, has
pleaded guilty to two charges and is now cooperating with special
counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. The charges deal with
work Gates did in Ukraine with Trump's former campaign manager, Paul
Manafort, before they joined the Trump campaign. New charges have also
been filed against Manafort, in part around an effort to secretly
finance lobbying for Ukraine's government.
