Paul Manafort’s longtime associate, Richard Gates, testified Monday at the criminal trial of the former Trump campaign chairman that the two men committed tax and bank fraud together.
As far back as last October, when the special counsel Robert Mueller indicted Paul Manafort and his protégé, Rick Gates, on charges of conspiracy to launder money and failure to disclose foreign bank accounts, it was clear that the two men were in serious trouble.
Rick Gates' testimony at the trial of former Trump campaign manager, Paul Manafort, on Monday offered new reasons for President Trump to stop publicly defending Manafort.
