Manafort Guilty

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, reported NBC News.

Manafort 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.

Manafort faces an estimated seven to nine years in prison.

Prosecutors have until August 29 to decide what they will do about the 10 mistrial charges.

The jury deliberated for four days after hearing 12 days of arguments, evidence and witnesses.
