Aug. 21 (UPI) — A jury in Virginia found former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort guilty on eight of the 18 counts he faced for bank fraud Tuesday.
The verdict came after four days of deliberations during which the panel of six men and six women indicated it had difficulty reaching a consensus on 10 counts. The judge declared a mistrial on those 10 charges.
Manafort faced 18 tax and bank fraud charges for hiding millions of dollars from the Internal Revenue Service in overseas bank accounts.
The 68-year-old faces up to 30 years in prison for each count.
