I've brought in The Count from Sesame Street to help us count down Paulie's Tuesday agenda.
Paul Manafort, a former chairman of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, faces 18 criminal counts in his trial in a federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, that starts on Tuesday. Half the counts involve bank fraud and bank fraud conspiracy, which can carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison for each count. He has pleaded not guilty. Here is a summary of the charges:
FALSE TAX RETURNS – FIVE COUNTS
FAILURE TO REPORT FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNTS – FOUR COUNTS
LOANS FROM CITIZENS BANK – THREE COUNTS
LOAN FROM BANC OF CALIFORNIA – TWO COUNTS
LOANS FROM THE FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK – FOUR COUNTS
