Occupied Jerusalem: Ehud Olmert's lawyers are pushing ahead with their attempt to damage the credibility of a key witness in a corruption case that could end the Israeli prime minister's political career.
The defence attorneys continue to cross-examine US businessman Morris Talansky in a Jerusalem court on Sunday for a third day.
Talansky testified in May that he gave Olmert hundreds of thousands of dollars before he became prime minister, much of it in cash-stuffed envelopes.
Police suspect that Olmert might have been trying to circumvent campaign finance laws or possibly even taking bribes.
So far, Olmert's lawyers have elicited an admission from Talansky that his memory might be faulty. But they have not managed to decisively undermine his testimony.
