Rick Gates takes the stand in Roger Stone trial, describes 'brainstorming' sessions about WikiLeaks.
Former deputy Trump campaign manager Rick Gates testified during Roget Stone's trial on Tuesday that the campaign had a keen interest in the anticipated release of stolen emails from Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party prior to the 2016 election, and held a series of what he called “brainstorming” sessions among top campaign aides about WikiLeaks.
In June, when WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange claimed to have information about Clinton, Gates said campaign's response"was one of happiness ... it was, in a way, a gift.” "Mr. Stone indicated that he wanted to reach out to Mr. Kushner [and another official] to debrief them about developments of the DNC announcement," Gates said, referring to the DNC announcement that it had been hacked by Russians.
