Transcript on the cross-examination of the Special Counsel's star witness Rick Gates in the Paul Manafort case.

How much did he embezzle?

How many lies did he tell the Special Counsel during their investigation?

Thread.
Before cross-examination began, there was a bench discussion. Manafort's lawyer said he would get into how Gates stole money to fund his "secret life."

There was an agreement that they wouldn't bring up Gates' infidelity.

Defense: After all the lies you told and fraud you've committed, you expect this jury to believe you?

Gates: Yes.

Defense: Uncorroborated?

Gates: Yes.
