Q: So Mr Yohai

Though Mr Manafort had no
income, he has this political
consulting business, right?
Brennan: Yes. Q: And your
policy was to look at the
trend of 3 to 5 years?
Brennan: Yes.
Q: Put the
loan memo for the Summer
Breeze transaction on the
screen. GX 2. This is your
work? Brennan: Yes. Q: Let's
turn to page 9, the personal
financial statement of Paul
Manafort. You wrote he had
$11.9 million in cash?
Brennan: That is
what it says.
Judge
Schofield (to jurors) Let's
take a break for lunch. I know
it's hard to stay awake in the
afternoon. That has to do with
carbs and sugar. Just noting
that, before your lunch.
Then there were
John Day and Jack Gomgaware
Witness being
asked about Calk claiming he's
a combat veteran.
Calk's lawyer
asks How can you remember this
conversation from four years
ago?
The case is US v. Calk, 19-cr-366
