Rick Gates

Rick Gates was a trusted member of Donald Trump‘s campaign team, working with him during the 2016 presidential election. According to a new report in The New York Times, Gates, 46, requested proposals from an Israeli company to help collect information on their political opponents and create fake social media accounts.

Dutch lawyer Alex van der Zwaan, the first person in the Mueller probe to be convicted to a 30-day sentence, also reportedly lied about his contacts with Gates.
