A former top aide to Donald Trump's presidential campaign will plead guilty to fraud-related charges within days – and has made clear to prosecutors that he would testify against Paul J. Manafort Jr., the lawyer-lobbyist who once managed the campaign.
The change of heart by Trump's former deputy campaign manager, Richard W. Gates III, who had pleaded not guilty after being indicted in October on charges similar to Manafort's, was described in interviews by people familiar with the case.
"Rick Gates is going to change his plea to guilty,'' said a person with direct knowledge of the new developments, adding that the revised plea will be presented in federal court in Washington "within the next few days.''
That individual and others who discussed the matter spoke on condition of anonymity, citing a judge's gag order restricting comments about the case to the news media or public.
(CNN) President Donald Trump has long been obsessed with the idea that the investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election is really nothing more than a political scheme to rob him of the credit he so rightly deserves for winning that race. Over the last 24 hours, however, that obsession has been tuned up a notch, with Trump unleashing a series of bitter tweets attacking even his own top advisers and agencies for their alleged complicity in this narrative.
The Trump tweets, taken together, sound less like the views of the President of the United States and more like the sort of paranoid, conspiracy theories of InfoWars founder Alex Jones.
In a tweetstorm that started late at night Saturday and continued into Sunday morning, President Trump railed against the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Here’s a quick guide to his many misstatements and misleading claims in this Twitter barrage.

I’d be willing to wager otherwise. How about you? $100 says you are incorrect in the illusion that trump will make two full terms in the WH.

I Will take that bet, but only if he runs for another term. If he runs, he wins.

Trump ain’t gonna run again. But, ill take the bet given the 1% chance that he does.
The quicker the republicans dump Trump, the quicker they can repair their party.

Out of curiosity, why do you think Trump may not run for another term?

I think he will, I just don't want to lose 100 bucks due to a technicality

Both parties are corrupt as hell, neither can or will fix the country as they are today.
The Bush family, the Clinton's and Obama have done more harm than can be fixed in 4 years

You mean the technicality that he will not complete his first term. Plus, convicted felons are not eligible to hold the office of the presidency.
