President Donald Trump earlier in the day called his former campaign manager Paul Manafort a "good person," and said his trial "is very sad." Trump is still being investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller, who brought charges against Manafort.
Judge T.S. Ellis said at a hearing in Manafort's case that he will not release the names of jurors deliberating Manafort's fate because he is worried about their safety. Manafort is being prosecuted by special counsel Robert Mueller's team.
Trump told reporters on Friday that he expected to "quickly" remove the security clearance of Bruce Ohr, a Justice Department official with ties to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
