      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 @nycsouthpaw, Gates' initial lawyers' motion to withdraw immediately due to "irreconcilable differences ... which make our effective representation of the client impossible" was filed the day Gates is accused of making the false statement to Mueller's team.pic.twitter.com/NLDKwbTL1q

          Here’s our running report at @BuzzFeedNews on today’s coming guilty plea from Rick Gates — and a count that alleges Gates lied in 2018 about a 2013 meeting Paul Manafort held with Rep. Dana Rohrabacher.https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/rick-gates-mueller …

          Rick Gates has pleaded guilty to the two counts in the superseding information filed today. Estimated guidelines for a sentence is 57-71 months, but Gates' lawyer said he reserved right to argue for less because of "disproportionate conduct" https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/rick-gates-mueller?utm_term=.twpRbZvxW#.edbVGzPwZ …

          “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy said in the recording of a June 15 exchange obtained and published by the Washington Post. At that point, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) cut off the conversation and swore those present to secrecy.
