For the cockpit voice recorder, looking for the flight data recorder. Ultimately what those things could yield we dont know because we have the extensive conversations between the 29yearold and air traffic control. But i want to you listen now to what the ceo of Alaska Airlines said just a few moments ago. Take a look. It was a 3. 5 years employee of horizon air with a Ground Service agent. To answer the question you asked, he was a a Background Check there was a couple of couple different criminal Background Checks we run on employees. He got a badge with the port of seattle. Thats another. He worked his shift yesterday. We believe he was in uniform. His job is to be around airplanes. The c. E. Is tow certified, meant to be be shall did dsh airports have a secure and nonsecure side. He is meant to be on the secure side. Thats part of
than $60 million. they allege he hid millions lied about his income and failed to fay epay taxes while spending big. for real estate and new york yankees season tickets. while serving as manafort s right-hand man for a decade gates whose three days on the witness stand began monday, testified that he and mafrpt had 15 foreign accounts that they didn t report to the government even though they knew it was illegal. he said manafort instructed him not to submit the required forms. gates also testified that manafort recommended a banker who had loaned him money for a position in the trump administration. and he admitted he cheated on his wife and had embezzled several hundred thousand dollars from manafort by submitting false expense reports. revelations manafort s defense team hope to use to undermine his credibility. the government presented email was photos and financial records to prove the case. employees from the fbi and irs testified about the money manafort from political work in
ukraine and his failure to report some of it on his tax returns. the president played down his relationship with manafort in recent months. paul manafort worked for me for a very short period of time. but he has been watching the trial closely taking to twitter on to express sympathy for manafort. comparing his treatment to prohibition era alka pony and call on attorney general jeff sessions to end the probe immediately. a describe as an opinion not an order. let s take a deep dive wour expert on the law. michael zeldin joins us, special assistant to robert mueller at the justice department. this week the first time prosecutors showed how manafort used his trump campaign ties to obtain millions in bank loans. could this be of value to mueller s team beyond this trial do you think. i m not so sure, ana. i think what we have here are is a trial with two parts. part one was when manafort was
investigation? it would seem so. the facts there were that the prosecutor the defense attorney asked gates essentially how many times did he interview with the special counsel. they said about 20 times. they approached the bench to talk about what was included within the 20 interviews. and that is what was sealed at the prosecution s request because the prosecutor said that relates to ongoing investigations. so surely that does imply, ana, as you suggest that there is an ongoing investigation. we don t know who the targets or subject of that is. but the special counsel wants to make sure that gates cooperation testimony which may have been revealed a little bit to manafort at the side bar at the bench is held secret while continuing with the case. so this prosecution is about to wrap up at least their case. and then the defense takes over. let s talk about manafort possibly taking the stand, defense attorney common sense says he won t. but talk to me about what could
flush with his ukrainian money he was hiding it from the irs so as not to pay taxes. then when that money dried up he had no money and he had a lot of debt and sew engaged in bank fraud in order to obtain the money to live the lifestyle he was accustomed to. yes he did say to the banker i can help you get a job in the administration if you help me with in bank fraud application. but i don t think that ties back to the president himself. really it s more a matter of manafort s own corruption. what do you make of that moment that happened this week in which there was sort of a secret conversation with the judge and the attorneys at the bench, and then later was asked to keep that conversation secret or sealed because of the ongoing mueller probe. doesn t that suggest that gates may come into play in some other capacity in the broader
