CNN: Source: Mueller Pushed For Gates’ Help On Collusion
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team last year made clear it wanted former Trump campaign deputy Rick Gates’ help, not so much against his former business partner Paul Manafort, but with its central mission: investigating the Trump campaign’s contact with the Russians. New information disclosed in court filings and to CNN this week begin to show how they’re getting it.
New info regrading Mueller and Gates could prove to be big—because it may indicate where Mueller is and has been heading. That is, yes, possible obstruction of justice re Trump and/or campaign and associates but also possible outright collusion or conspiracy with Russians.
