In Paul Manafort��s fraud trial, a jury has been seated. Follow live coverage in the case against Trump��s former campaign chairman.
Manafort is accused in federal court in Alexandria of failing to pay taxes on millions he made from his work for a Russia-friendly Ukrainian political party, then lying to get loans when the cash stopped coming in.
The charges were brought by the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, but prosecutors say the U.S. election issue will not be raised during the trial in Virginia.
Manafort faces a second court battle on related charges in federal court in D.C. this fall.
