Mueller Says Multiple Probes Continue

March 15, 2019 at 11:15 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Special counsel Robert Mueller asked a court to delay sentencing for President Trump’s former deputy campaign chairman, Rick Gates, amid “ongoing investigations” stemming from the Russia investigation, Reuters reports.

Mueller cited Gates’ continued cooperation with multiple probes and asked permission to update the judge on the case again by May 14.
