Manafort trial - as it happened: Jury to begin deliberations after prosecutors accuse former Trump campaign manager of lyingThe jury began its first day of deliberations in the case against Donald Trump‘s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who is on trial for financial fraud. On Wednesday, prosecutors told jurors Mr Manafort had lied to keep himself flush with cash for his luxurious lifestyle and then lied some more to procure millions in bank loans when his income dropped off. In his defence, Mr Manafort’s attorneys told jurors to question the entirety of the prosecution’s case as they sought to tarnish the credibility of Mr Manafort’s longtime protege, and government witness, Rick Gates.
