Who Is Rick Gates? He Was Charged In The Trump Russia Investigation

On Monday, Oct. 30, the special counsel investigation into the possible collusion between the Donald Trump campaign and Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election, led by Robert Mueller, made its first official charges in the investigation. Paul Manafort and Rick Gates were indicted on 12 charges. Due to Trump's ever-changing campaign and cabinet members, you might be wondering who Rick Gates actually is since he was charged on Monday morning.

Rick Gates is linked to Paul Manafort as his protégé and partner in business dealings, according to the New York Times. While we know a lot less about Gates, he and Manafort both have surrendered themselves over to the FBI.

More to come.
