- A juror who participated in the trial of President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, said just one holdout prevented the jury from convicting Manafort on all of the 18 federal charges he faced.
- In a Fox News interview on Wednesday, Paula Duncan, a self-described Trump supporter, said the unidentified juror was not convinced that Manafort was guilty of all 18 criminal charges he faced.
- The jury found Manafort guilty on eight counts, including bank fraud, tax fraud, and failure to disclose a foreign account. The judge in the case declared a mistrial on the remaining 10 charges.
- “We all tried to convince her to look at the paper trail, we laid it out in front of her again and again,” Duncan said of the holdout juror.
- Duncan also described the room in which the jurors, some of them emotional, deliberated Manafort’s case: “Crazily enough, there were even tears.”
