Mr. Gates, a former top adviser to Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign, was first indicted by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, in October.
His expected guilty plea suggests he is cooperating with the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. It could be a significant development in the inquiry.
