After a nearly five-hour delay, the prosecution in Paul Manafort’s trial called its first witness of the day on Aug.10 afternoon, with the lengthy delay still unexplained in the courtroom.
Judge T.S. Ellis returned to the courtroom at 2:22 p.m. ET, more than a half hour after they were scheduled to reconvene. After conferring with attorneys for the prosecution and defense briefly, Ellis said: “Mr. Andres, you may call your next witness.”
