ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The FBI on Wednesday described the details of the early-morning raid on former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s Alexandria condo on the second day of Manafort’s trial.
FBI special agent Matthew Mikuska, an 11-year veteran of the bureau, testified in court in Alexandria, Va., saying he was the seizing agent for the government’s search last year.
Mikuska told the jury agents knocked three times on Manafort’s door, but used a key to gain access after receiving no answer. Once inside, agents saw Manafort.
Mikuska said he did not know how the FBI obtained the key.
Their warrant to search the apartment, Mikuska said, was not a “no-knock†warrant.
Mikuska described the apartment as “luxury†and spanning more than 2,000 square feet, with three bedrooms, an office, and large closet spaces.
