The days top stories from around the world, from politics and money, to sports and pop culture. On matters that have nothing to do with the campaign. I think that even mr. Manafort as i read it had requested that there be no mention of his brief tenure at the Trump Campaign several years ago.

The government alleges manafort hid millions and failed to pay taxes while still spending the money on real estate and luxury purchases, including homes in manhattan, virginia and the hamptons, expensive suits, and baseball tickets. And prosecutors will present hundreds of emails, photos and financial records to prove it. Prosecutors say manafort also lied to banks about his income to secure more than 20 million in loans.
