Prosecutors in Kilpatrick trial aim to fight defense claims over airport security

Detroit — Federal prosecutors strapped $90,000 to an FBI agent and had him go through Detroit Metropolitan Airport security 100 times to prove an alleged bagman could have flown across the country and delivered illicit money to Kwame Kilpatrick.

Prosecutors want to put the FBI agent on the witness stand in the City Hall corruption case to bolster testimony from a government witness, according to a federal court filing. They also want to fight defense claims that security measures — and common sense — make it unlikely courier Mahlon Clift delivered the cash to Kilpatrick in 2008.
