Read: Rick Gates plea deal full text

Former Trump campaign adviser Rick Gates has pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy against the United States and one count of making false statements to FBI agents. It’s the latest development to come out of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election and potential collusion with the Trump campaign.

Gates was a longtime business associate and protégé of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, who is also being targeted in Mueller’s investigation. On Thursday, a grand jury returned 32 indictments against Manafort and Gates for a wide range of tax, financial, and bank fraud crimes, including the laundering of $30 million.

As part of the plea deal, Gates is expected to cooperate with Mueller’s investigation against Manafort, and potentially others who have yet to be indicted.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
