What can we expect this week in Paul Manafort's trial? Mueller's office says they're on track to finish their case in chief this week. We've heard from 14 witnesses so far. Assuming the govt still plans to have former Manafort associate Rick Gates testify, that'll be big.
Here's the govt's witness list: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4637… It has 35 names, but there's no guarantee we'll hear from all of them. New filing today from the govt says they intend to have at least one FBI forensic accountant read Manafort emails in court assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4637… 
Day 5: Rick Gates takes the stand. In dramatic testimony pitting two former senior Trump campaign officials against each other, Gates said he committed crimes with Manafort at Manafort's direction — and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from him, too buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
No tweets earlier b/c our mid-afternoon break was short and competition over seats has gotten fierce. But we had a clue Gates was coming when the trial started up at 1pm — the govt rolled in a cart with boxes and at least two had "GATES" written on them buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
