Mueller turns over evidence for ex-tRump campaign manager Manafort's trial
U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has turned over more than 400,000 emails, financial records and other documents to defense attorneys for President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort to demonstrate what evidence the government has against him, according to a court filing on Friday.
The documents, part of the discovery process ahead of a criminal trial next year, offer insight into how much evidence Mueller already has amassed regarding Manafort and his business associate, Rick Gates.
According to Friday’s filing, Mueller’s team of prosecutors has collected more than 400,000 items and another 2,000 so-called “hot” documents, or those that contain potentially crucial evidence.
They have imaged copies of 36 electronic devices such as laptops, telephones and thumb drives, and copies of 15 search or seizure warrants.
The documents also include foreign bank account records from Cyprus and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, locations that have previously been identified by the U.S. State Department as vulnerable to money laundering and other financial crimes.
In addition, prosecutors turned over documents from Manafort’s tax preparer deemed “particularly relevant,” deposition testimony given by the defendants “in another matter,” which was not specified, and imaged copies of 27 electronic devices that were seized when the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided Manafort’s Virginia home earlier this year. - Reuters

Particularly relevant tax information in another matter. Hmmm.
