Rick Gates, the star witness in Paul Manafort’s fraud trial, was freed from a curfew and GPS monitoring after a judge credited his cooperation with Special Counsel Robert Mueller and trial testimony against his former boss.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson granted the request by Gates, who has been under house arrest since his guilty plea in February. Jackson cited his compliance with his bail terms and his testimony in August under “difficult circumstances,” alluding to the withering cross-examination by Manafort’s attorneys in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia.
