Summary
This document is a court transcript from February 24, 2022, capturing the testimony of a witness named Brune. During redirect and recross examination, Brune explains that a particular document resembled a credit report and merely confirmed a pre-existing belief, hence they chose not to investigate further despite their past training as an AUSA. The questioning then turns to redacted Social Security numbers on the document and what the witness learned from an unredacted version.

1 Q. And none of these pieces of information would have been
2 important to you, is that what you're saying?
3 A. What I'm saying is, is this thing to me looks, and I think
4 would have looked had I seen it at the time, as kind of like a
5 credit report, and I think it would have confirmed what I

7 had the same name. Now that we know the truth, it seems like

10 that we had.

13 Q. Despite your training as an AUSA conducting many Grand Jury

16 MS. DAVIS: No further questions.
17 MR. SCHECTMAN: Just one, Judge.
