A California man who loaned Paul Manafort $1 million in 2017 just before the former Trump campaign chairman was indicted is so concerned about the political fallout that he's asked a court to keep his name secret in a case about Manafort's money

The person who gave Manafort the loan -- which prosecutors have said is suspiciously like other fake or illegal payments Manafort received -- lives in Southern California,"where President Trump is highly unpopular," according to a filing Thursday made by attorneys for the shell company that had claimed it's the lender."It is well known that friendships and other relationships have shattered over political views in our current 'tribal' society," the filing states.

Oh please we need to know who this sucker in Cali who lent Manafort 1 million is? We need some more news today never enough 😂

It's almost as if he thinks he'll be demonized by MSM who are simply reporting without bias or agenda. How silly of him.

BORING!!!!! You know, like your ratings.

Who gives out unsecured 'LOANS' OF A MILLION BUCKS...and now wants the court to hide their NAME? -Kanye?....lol -Rush Limbaugh? -Tucker Carlsen? -Mitch McConnell? -Sean Hannity -Trump's son Eric? -Putin's chef? Lol....sure is gonna be fun....

You wish

I wonder if it's James Woods?

So here goes CNN posting it to be sure there is fall out!

Wouldn't happen to be a man concerned about people on his lawn, would it..?

...and Mr Anonymous, 'loaned' Manafort a million dollars for? 🤨

Was than 'loan' or PAYMENT for access? PAY TO PLAY?

That's because he know how deranged the left has become because of realDonaldTrump

😔

SURE more SECRETS!

Yeah, but CNN is reporting this and, well, NOT exactly the most trustworthy news source.

I was not involved but I would ask the court the same because else fakenews will slander your name because they don’t care about people.

If he’s a conservative, the left will leak it

Was that 'loan' for polling data?

Spare some change?

In other words, CNN doesn't have anything but hearsay on this story. 😂😂

Yeah cause the left will blow it out of proportion like they always do.
