UPDATE: Asked to confirm that he is representing Rick Gates — and about the Daily Beast reporting that he was fired, Tom Green tells me, "It is ludicrous and I am representing him."

While it is possible that a decision has been made to replace Green — although he tells me the firing claim is "ludicrous" — he is still representing Gates, so he has not been fired. https://twitter.com/woodruffbets/status/966813036395794432 …

As pointed out by

Paul Manafort maintains his innocence in a new statement. "For reasons yet to surface," Manafort adds, Gates "chose" not to continue fighting. https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/rick-gates-mueller?utm_term=.xnrD95pXy#.ewDGMaLrq …pic.twitter.com/AUJO9gbDI0
