‘The FBI promised me a deal so I made up a lot of stuff about Michael Corleone because that’s what they wanted’

EXCERPT:

[clip starts]
PENTANGELI: “Look, the FBI guy had promised me a deal, so I -- so I made up a lot of stuff about Michael Corleone because that’s what they wanted. But it was all lies, everything. And I kept saying, Michael Corleone did this and Michael Corleone did that. So I said, 'Yeah, sure, why not?'”
SENATOR: “Mr. Corleone, would you kindly identify for the committee the gentleman sitting to your left?”
HAGEN: “I can answer that. His name is Vincenzo Pentangeli.”
SENATOR: "Is he related to the witness?"
HAGEN: "He is I believe his brother." 
SENATOR: “Will he come forward and be sworn, sir?”
HAGEN: “Sir, this man does not understand English. He came at his own expense to aid his brother in this time of trouble. He is not under subpoena and his reputation in his own country is impeccable.”
SENATOR: “Are you saying he knows nothing about these matters?”
HAGEN: “To my knowledge, nothing.”
