Manafort juror says pardoning him would be a ‘grave mistake’ for Trump — whom she supports


The juror, Paula Duncan, told Fox News she supports President Trump, including that daily reminder on her 45-mile commute from Leesburg, Va. “I feel it would be grave mistake for President Trump to pardon Paul Manafort,” she told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Friday night. Pardoning Manafort without him serving a jail sentence “would look like President Trump was saying it’s okay that you broke the law,” she told Reuters. “It’s not okay to break the law.”Without a pardon, Manafort could be imprisoned between seven to 10 years. The charges Manafort faces in D.C. do stem from work he did for a Ukrainian politician favored by the Kremlin.
