According to the court document submitted with Gates’ agreement, Manafort laundered more than $18 million between 2006 and 2016, and Gates transferred more than $3 million to accounts that he controlled during that time.

Gates is the third former Trump aide to publicly admit guilt in Mueller’s probe.
Unlike Manafort, who resigned from his position as Trump’s campaign chairman in August 2016, Gates remained with the campaign until Election Day, working at one point for the Republican National Committee. He then joined the inaugural committee as deputy chairman. Once Trump took office, Gates helped launch an allied group to support the president’s agenda and was a regular visitor at the White House.
