Commissioner of Political Practices Jonathan Motl testifies in his lawsuit against Republican Rep. Art Wittich.

The third day of the civil trial against Republican State Representative Art Wittich included testimony from the man who's suing him — that's Montana's Commissioner of Political Practices Jonathan Motl. Motl says Wittich didn't report campaign contributions in the form of thousands of dollars of campaign services that he received from a national anti-union group in 2010. Montana Free Press Editor-in-Chief John S. Adams brings us up to speed on what happened at the trial on Wednesday.

John S. Adams is the Editor-in-Chief of Montana Free Press.
