AUSA: Why did all of you have your belongings in the Manhattan storage unit?
Felicia Rosario: We were supposed to be like a big family, we all moved into the apartment but it was too much, so some went into storage. Larry decided which went into storage.

AUSA: What was your understanding of how Claudia Drury was making money for Larry?

Now with jury out of room, AUSA says that Talia Ray was working with the Democratic Party in NC and the Felicia Rosario will testify she was directed to make payments
Ray's Federal Defender: We object!
[Tomorrow could be interesting - more #JohnListGone coming

Now after a discussion of Claudia Drury clients and dollar amounts - the jury will get them unredacted - the parties go to a sidebar, even with jury out of the room. So it will never be know what's said at this sidebar?

They've back from sidebar.
AUSA: The defense is trying to offer an email from Larry Ray that was also sent to Preet Bharara, and a letter from a lawyer. We don't think that's admissible.
