Wolf Blitzer looks at politics, breaking news and international stories. Alongside manafort and even stole several hundred thousand dollars from him. I want to quickly go to our justice correspondent jessica schneider, monitoring all these developments. Whats the biggest takeaway so far from todays dramatic testimony . The biggest takeaway, woman, just how elaborate this financial scheme was and how involved is Paul Manafort really seemed to be, directing the movement of money here. Rick gates has been testifying about these hundreds of emails where manafort actually signs off on transferring the money their Consulting Company earned throughout these various foreign bank accounts. Paul manafort would always write back, approving these transfers and signing it with his initial p. This is the prosecution laying out that it was, in fact, Paul Manafort in charge.

The judgment that the policy was unlawful and unconstitutional.
