On Tuesday, former Trump campaign official Rick Gates was sentenced to 45 days in jail. Gates' sentence came despite what a federal judge called his "extraordinary" cooperation with Mueller's Russia probe and other Justice Department investigations.
Gates is one of a half-dozen Trump associates charged in Mueller's investigation into ties between his presidential campaign and Russia. All six have either pleaded guilty or been found guilty at trial.
The three who have already been sentenced have all received prison time.
