A federal jury in Virginia convicted Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, on eight felony counts on Tuesday, but the judge declared a mistrial on the 10 other charges he faced.
Manafort, a fixture in Republican politics for decades, was convicted of five counts of tax fraud, one count of failing to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts and two counts of bank fraud. A mistrial was declared in three counts of failing to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts, and seven counts of bank fraud and bank fraud conspiracy.
Trump, after arriving in West Virginia for a rally Tuesday, called Manafort a "good man" before saying that his ordeal "doesn't involve me."
Ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen pleads guilty to campaign finance violations https://www.cbsnews.com/news/michael-cohen-plea-deal-details-today-2018-08-21/
Former longtime Trump attorney Michael Cohen pleaded guilty in federal court in Manhattan Tuesday to eight counts — including two campaign finance violations related to attempts to pay money to silence women he believed could be detrimental to a campaign in order to influence the 2016 election, according to the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern District of New York.
His sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 12, with bail set at $500,0000.
The government calculates he should spend between 51 and 63 months in prison.
The president has lashed out against Cohen without naming him on Twitter, after news broke that Cohen had secretly recorded conversations with him.
