Manafort Jury Hears Of Lavish Spending On Luxury Clothes

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — President Trump’s former campaign chairman spent more than a million dollars on suits and luxury clothes – much of it paid with money from undeclared foreign accounts that he did not report to the IRS, federal prosecutors told a jury Wednesday. The second day of the trial of Paul Manafort in Alexandria, Virginia, detailed the free-spending ways of the political consultant, from buying some of the most expensive suits in the world, to buying his daughter a nearly $2 million home, paid for with cash. The testimony about spending came as President Trump publicly came to Manafort’s defense, tweeting that prosecutors were treating him unfairly and attacking the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller that led to the charges against Manafort. “Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further,” the president tweeted.
