alexandria - The jury in the lawsuit against Paul Manafort, former campaign manager of Donald Trump, has not yet reached a verdict after two days of deliberation. The members asked the judge to be allowed to stop the discussion on Friday afternoon at 17.00 (local time) because of a social obligation of one of the jury members.

Judge T. S. Ellis decided on Friday afternoon that the judges should report to the court in Alexandria, Virginia, on Monday.

Manafort is charged, among other things, with bank and tax fraud and not submitting information about its foreign bank accounts. Manafort denied guilt on all eighteen points of the indictment.

President Trump on Friday afternoon in the garden of the White House expressed his horror at the trial against his former campaign leader: 'Sad. A sad day for our country. Manafort is a very good person ', says Trump. He did not want to answer questions about whether there would be a presidential pardon for the crimes if it came to a conviction of Manafort.
