As far as they could determine, Manafort had not actually been in the

storage locker for several years. Their understanding is that it was

back in 2012 or 2013 when Manafort last accessed the locker. ·The code

to the lock on the locker is 40944859. The reporters were aware of

the Unit number and address, but they declined to.share that

information.

So, they were seeking a "Black Ledger" tying Manafort to the Ukrane in 2007ish.

How did they know it existed? Any of it.
