The details: Prosecutors had summoned Gates, who has reportedly been cooperating with Mueller, to detail how he and Manafort orchestrated an elaborate offshore tax-evasion and bank fraud scheme. According to the AP, Gates described the schemes: "In Cyprus, they were documented as loans. In reality, it was basically money moving between accounts."

• Gates, laying responsibility on Manafort for a series of financial crimes, told jurors he repeatedly fabricated financial documents at the request of his boss, who was concerned about the amount of money he was paying in taxes.

Gates disclosed that he had about 20 meetings with Mueller and admitted to committing wrongdoing on his own — including embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars without Manafort’s knowledge. Gates said he submitted an expense report to President Trump’s inaugural committee for reimbursement, conceding he may have received payment for something he shouldn’t have, per the Washington Post.
