Washington (CNN) Special counsel Robert Mueller's office said Friday that former Trump campaign official Rick Gates is still helping "several ongoing investigations" and isn't ready to be sentenced. The filing suggests that Gates might still helpful beyond Manafort, and that there are investigators who still want Gates' cooperation. Whether it's Mueller or prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, or perhaps elsewhere, is not entirely clear. If Gates wasn't needed anymore, the parties likely would have asked to set a sentencing date. That report could be completed even if investigations continue elsewhere, including in the Southern District of New York.
