due on paul manafort s american express card, that was all a big misunderstanding among friends. they concocted this story from lender d, where manafort and gates told the bank, actually gates just borrowed the cardch he was good for it. he is totally going to pay it back. pay no attention on the delinquency significantly affected paul manafort s credit score. they still had to scam learned d. with lendser d, it worked. yet again, look at the time line. all of that scrambling in late 2015 and early 20 skerngs all of that scrambling, it s increasingly not working out, starting july 2016, gaelts and manafort jackpot. they convinced lendser d to cough up $16 million bucks. we believe lender d is the federal savings bank a small substitution that lends to u.s. military veterans in chicago. paul manafort is not a u.s.
there is that lie about his daughter and son living in the condo he is trying to get this loan for the indictment further on that loan says he also has rick gates obtain and submit false insurance documents. after gates contacted the insurance broker, asked her to provide lendser b with false information, gates updated herbie e-mail. so there is this scramble to get cash, cash loans with a lot of different kind of alleged fraudulent documents. it s all going on late 2015
reporters outside a federal courthouse in washington, d.c. early this afternoon catching paul manafort on camera. a couple hours later, boom, 32 new felony charges against manafort and his deputy rick gates. joining us to understand what happened here, chuck rosenberg a former u.s. attorney for the eastern district of virginia, which is where the grand jury that returned this new dime was seated. thanks for being here. it s nice to be here, thank you. the first indictment of manafort and gates was from a grand jury in d.c. these new charges were from a grand jury in virginia. where you served as u.s. attorney. is there a reason for this change of venue? it seems unusual just as a lay observer? it s unusual. it s not unheard of. if you want to charge manafort and gates, with everything they did, you have to bring it in this case in two different places. it seems to me they don t have venue for the tax fraud charges
speculation and reporting that any new charges, any new criminal allegations against manafort in particular would come because rick gates was pleading guilty and providing evidence against his old business partner paul manafort. that is not what appears to have happened here. this new indictment has 18 new charges against paul manafort but 23 new charges against rick gates and there s no sign of a new guilty plea from rick gates. now there is new drama about who gates lawyers are now. we ll talk about that in a minute. we re not sure how that relates here. but there s a couple other specifics to know. in the first indictment, the one back in october, there were no charges of tax fraud against manafort and gates. and that was interesting, especially to those of us who are lay observers because in that indictment in october there was a ton of description of tax fraud but to charges so that led people to ask back in october hey, if mueller has evidence about tax evasion by manafort
others in this effort. so a lot of rollout here today. clearly, a lot of runway to see where all three of these cases go in this ongoing investigation, guys. garrett, we ll stay close to you throughout the course of the d day. thank you. this is the tip of the iceberg of this discussion. i want to read from the indi indictment here. in total, more than $75,000 flowed through offshore accounts. manafort laundered more than $18 million, which was used by him to buy property goods and services in the united states, income he concealed from the united states treasury. the department of justice and others. gates transferred more than $3 million from the offshore accounts to other accounts he controlled. i want to give that as background while i run through who gates and manafort are. paul manafort was the chairman of the campaign. he was hired by the campaign in march of 2006 to count delegates sorry 2016. i m getting my dates wrong today.
