A California man who loaned Paul Manafort $1 million in 2017 just before the former Trump campaign chairman was indicted is so concerned about the political fallout that he's asked a court to keep his name secret in a case about Manafort's money
The person who gave Manafort the loan -- which prosecutors have said is suspiciously like other fake or illegal payments Manafort received -- lives in Southern California,"where President Trump is highly unpopular," according to a filing Thursday made by attorneys for the shell company that had claimed it's the lender."It is well known that friendships and other relationships have shattered over political views in our current 'tribal' society," the filing states.
RELATED: Paul Manafort will get to keep his famous haute couturePaul Manafort will get to keep his famous haute coutureProsecutors have previously said the supposed transactions between Manafort and Woodlawn sounded suspicious, given his past use of shell companies and admitted bank fraud when he sought mortgages to substantiate his income and claimed some of his wealth came from loans to avoid paying taxes.
