Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to set a sentencing date for next month for former Trump campaign official Rick Gates.

The request on Monday is a sign that Gates� extensive cooperation with the government is coming to an end.

Gates pleaded guilty last year in special counsel Robert Mueller�s investigation into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign.

He recently testified in the trial of high-powered Washington lawyer Greg Craig and is scheduled to testify this week in the trial of Trump associate Roger Stone.

In a joint status report, the government and Gates� lawyer asked a judge to schedule a sentencing for the middle of December.
