Mistrial Declared on Over Half of Manafort Trial Charges
Jurors convicted Paul Manafort of 8 counts, but were unable to agree on another 10. The sentencing date has not been announced. The prosecution has until August 29 to decide if they will pursue a retrial on the ten counts. Mr. Manafort faces another trial in September, this one in DC. None of the charges had anything to do with his time as a leader in the Trump Campaign.
President Trump has called what transpired “very sad” and says he respects Manafort for being a “brave man” and for remaining loyal.
Pray that truth would out and that the unjust would fail.
