#BREAKING: Manafort defense rests without calling witnesses, presenting case
The defense in Paul Manafort's case has rested its case without calling witnesses.
The decision on Tuesday comes in the third week of the former Trump campaign chairman's trial. Manafort faces a total of 18 criminal counts — five counts of tax fraud, four counts of failing to report foreign bank and financial accounts and nine counts of bank fraud and bank fraud conspiracy.
Manafort faces up to 10 years in prison for tax fraud alone based on the level of the offense and his criminal history, federal prosecutors said in a February court filing.
