I knew a guy named Paul Manafort
He used to steal, rob and extort
He thought he was the swellest guy around
Well I found on Tuesday, Paul's goin' to the hoosegow
The judge done throwed the book at him and how

He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
Seems that every now and then, justice even gets rich men
He's in the jailhouse now

...on one count

Alexandria, Virginia (CNN)The judge in the trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort urged the jury Tuesday to keep deliberating after it asked what happens if it can't reach consensus on one of 18 counts.

Judge T.S. Ellis told jurors to keep working.

"If we cannot come to a consensus for a single count, how can we fill in the verdict sheet?" the jury wrote in a note to Ellis.

Manafort is charged with 18 counts of tax evasion, bank fraud and hiding foreign bank accounts in the first case brought to trial by special counsel Robert Mueller as part of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US election. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.
