Ahhh this is amazing! The Christies site link has good quality pictures of the whole affidavit and John's annotations. I've transcribed them below (uncertain words in square brackets):
Page 2: Underlining the part where Paul says "While we were touring the relationship between us was very close" John writes "Many fights on tour about leadership."
Page 3: Underlining the part about Ringo leaving the band, John's written "Said we didn't want him anymore." (auughh)
Page 3: Underlining Paul's claim that John "was no longer interested in performing songs he hadn't written", John writes: "Paul was guilty of this for years - [witness] 'let it be' [dig]."
Page 3: Underlining "George had a row with the rest of us", John writes "Paul" (Lmao)
Page 4: Underlining the part where Paul says the introduction of Klein was the first time in the band's history where an irreconcilable difference had occurred, John writes "he was funny about anyone new, including Brian!"
Page 5: Underlining where Paul talks about requesting more time before deciding whether or not to sign a band management contract with Klein in May 1969, John writes "had been delaying everything for weeks."
Page 7: Underlining where Paul claims that, in the divorce meeting, John said that the Beatles' activities had come full circle because the photo taken for Get Back was so similar to the one for their first album, John writes "never happened."
Page 7: Where Paul recounts his phone call to John telling him he was leaving and that he was handing over his business arrangements to the Eastmans, John underlines the latter part and writes "already done?"
Page 9: Underlining where Paul recounts the release of the Spector edit of Long & Winding Road and says that Spector had changed that and other songs of his "considerably", and that "this had never happened before", John writes "used to happen in early days."
Page 10: Commenting on the reply Paul sent to John's "How and Why?" postcard, John writes "I expect [something] a little less 'poetic' considering his advisors had been explaining it to him for 2 yrs."
Page 11: Underlining where Paul complains about legal decisions re: Northern Songs and Maclen Music being made without his knowledge, John writes "No one can even get in touch with him."
Page 12: Underlining where Paul refers to the attempt to change the release date of McCartney I as "a threat to my artistic freedom", John writes "he resented the high handed way in which his record 'suddenly' appeared, and demanding release dates with no consideration whatsoever for other Apple products."
