The Atheneum Suite hotel
One of Kwame Kilpatrick’s best friends, who allegedly received $90,000 from contractor Bobby Ferguson, agreed Tuesday there is no proof he was at the Atheneum Suite Hotel in Detroit when prosecutors say the hand-off happened.
Ferguson lawyer Michael Rataj handed Mahlon Clift a stack of hotel receipts showing when the Chicago native stayed at the Atheneum Suite Hotel between 2004 and 2008.
Clift stayed at the hotel in June 2008 but said that was before Ferguson allegedly gave him $90,000 to give to Kilpatrick.
“Sir, would you agree there’s not one shred of evidence that suggests you were staying at the Atheneum between July, August or September of 2008, isn’t that right?” Rataj asked.
Clift agreed.
