Calk ultimately was interviewed as a candidate for undersecretary of the Army but didn’t get the job, prosecutors said. Manafort was not named in the indictment, but the description of the borrower in the court filing matches that of the former Trump campaign chairman. According to Calk’s indictment, Manafort took a break from his duties running Trump’s campaign on July 27, 2016, to attend an initial meeting in New York with a loan officer to discuss a multimillion-dollar loan. Calk joined by video and, according to prosecutors, told Manafort he would be interested in work on Trump’s campaign. That same day in Florida, Trump asked at a news conference if Russia could locate deleted emails belong to his opponent, Hillary Clinton.
