Three full days of discussion, the jury in the trial of former Trump leader, Paul Manafort, had not yet received a decision.

T.S. judge Ellis and two lawyers met twice on Monday morning in person. The conversation lasted for about 10 minutes each, and Ellis said the transcript would be published at the end of the trial.
The trial has major implications for the future of Mueller's investigation. Trump has repeatedly phoned investigations of "magic hunters" who have not found evidence of Russian mixing with his campaign, and his allies enter and leave the White House saying special advisers must wrap things up.
"Learning Joseph McCarthy, because we are now with Mueller and his gang that makes Joseph McCarthy look like a baby! Hunt Witch Hunt!" Trump tweeted Sunday.
Trump on Friday called Manafort "a very good person" and the trial was "very sad."
"I think all the trials of Manafort are very sad ... I think this is a very sad day for our country," the president said in the White House. "He's a very good person, and I think he's very sad about what they did to Paul Manafort."

Also on Friday, Ellis said that she had received threats during the trial.
Ellis did not reveal any information about the threat she received. But he said they were enough to alert him to making the names of 12 judges and four civilians in response to requests from media organizations.
"I have received criticism and threats, I think they will, too," Ellis said, adding that US marshal accompanied him everywhere, including an unnamed hotel where he lived, but the jury did not have that protection.
