Mueller plans to call IRS, FBI, FinCen witnesses at Manafort trial
By DARREN SAMUELSOHN 07/24/2018 10:25 AM EDT
Special counsel Robert Muellers prosecutors plan to call witnesses from the IRS, FBI and the Treasury Departments Financial Crimes Enforcement Network as part of the upcoming trial involving Paul Manafort, one of the lead investigators said in court Tuesday.
The details on which government officials might be asked to testify in the former Donald Trump campaign managers July 31 trial on bank and tax fraud charges came as the federal judge presiding in the case outlined some of its broad parameters to potential jurors, including the timeline of the alleged crimes.
U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis III on Monday ordered Muellers team to produce to the court its full witness list of some 30 people. During Tuesdays brief session, Ellis said hed release that list to the public by the end of the week, despite opposition from the special counsels office.
Uzo Asonye, a Mueller prosecutor, argued that the government doesnt typically make public its witness lists ahead of a trial, noting some people might not ultimately be called to testify.
Yes, I know, but this isnt a typical case, Ellis responded.
