Manafort trial: Cindy Laporta testifies it was 'wrong' to agree to loan increase on former Trump aide's tax returns

An accountant for Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort testified on Friday that she prepared his tax returns despite her concerns about the propriety of classifying money he transferred from overseas as loans. Judge TS Ellis asked the accountant, Cynthia Laporta, whether she was testifying under an immunity agreement with the government because she was concerned that she could be prosecuted. Ms Laporta testified she knew an accounting treatment for a loan was wrong when preparing Mr Manafort's tax return for 2014.
