Former Donald Trump campaign chairman and Chris Cassidy Archiveslover of ugly-but-expensive suits Paul Manafort was found guilty on eight counts on Tuesday, the first verdict in a case stemming from Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Manafort was found guilty of filing false tax returns and bank fraud. While the case was a byproduct of the election meddling investigation, it centered on Manafort's financial dealings. According to CNN, the judge declared a mistrial on 10 other counts after the jury could not reach a consensus.
