Jurors have reached a verdict on eight counts in the trial of President Donald Trump's former campaign chief, Paul Manafort.
In a note to U.S. District Court Judge T.S. Ellis, the jurors said they had not reached a consensus on the 10 remaining counts in the bank fraud and tax crimes trial.
Manafort, 69, faces another federal trial next month in Washington, D.C., which also stems from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign.
Manafort's defense team called no witnesses at the trial in Alexandria, Va., and introduced just 12 exhibits into evidence.
In contrast, prosecutors called 27 witnesses to testify against Manafort, and submitted more than 350 exhibits.
