U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller named 35 potential witnesses who may be called to testify in the tax- and bank-fraud trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, including his onetime right-hand man Rick Gates.
The list, filed Friday in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, hints at how the first trial stemming from Mueller’s probe into Russian meddling may unfold. The jury is likely to hear about home loans, fine cars -- even Major League Baseball tickets. The three-week trial is scheduled to start on July 31.
