A look at breaking news, politics and reports from around the world. yeah. i think that s a good point. on paul manafort, the former trump campaign chairman convicted yesterday on eight felony counts, bank fraud, tax fraud, stealing literally millions of dollars from american taxpayers, not reporting income on tens of millions of dollars, is there a chance he ll still cooperate with the special counsel paul manafort? he has another trial coming up next month. right. look. if you re paul manafort, i mean, you re looking at possibly some serious jail time. there is an incentive. but i think what you are seeing is the president telegraphing directly to paul manafort, if you stay put, if you do not as he said, if you refuse to break, if you see that tweet that he he contrasts paul manafort with michael cohen it s very clear that he s telegraphing to paul manafort that if he doesn t break with him that perhaps there s a pardon in the offing and you can see, also, by the way, paul
