The jury weighing the fate of President Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort ended its third day of deliberations Monday. The six-woman, six-man jury in Alexandria, Va. did ask to stay slightly longer than usual — until 6:15 p.m. — before going home for the night Monday. “He thinks it was a very good day.”The panel heard two weeks of testimony before beginning deliberations last week. Manafort, 69, could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted of the most serious charges in the case. The president has repeatedly spoken out publicly in support of Manafort, both at the outset of the trial and during jury deliberations.
