ALEXANDRIA, Va. A confessed felon who helped President Donald Trump get elected wrapped up his testimony against an alleged criminal who ran Trumps presidential campaign on Wednesday, concluding three days of damning revelations about two men working for a president who claimed he hires only the best people.

Rick Gates , who worked on Trumps campaign throughout 2016 and then as executive director of Trumps inaugural committee, is the star witness against Paul Manafort , the former Trump campaign chairman whose first of two trials focuses on charges the political operative is a tax cheat and financial fraudster.

Throughout three days of questioning in a packed federal courtroom a half-hour south of the White House, Gates admitted to a staggering amount of criminal activity he committed both with Manafort and for his own benefit.

Manaforts lawyers consistently tried to paint Gates as an unreliable witness, and Gates last day of testimony was no different. Manaforts lawyers on Wednesday tried to further malign Gates as a witness by suggesting Gates lied about the number of extramarital affairs hes had.
