Ex-chairman of US President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, Paul Manafort, pleads not guilty to mortgage fraud charges filed by New York state authorities
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort is escorted into court during his arraignment in New York Supreme Court in New York, US on June 27, 2019.
Manafort remained seated as he entered his plea and had to be helped out of his chair when taken out of the courtroom.Manafort, 70, is already serving a seven-and-a-half-year prison sentence for misleading the US government about his lucrative foreign lobbying work, hiding millions of dollars from tax authorities and encouraging witnesses to lie on his behalf.
Manafort's federal cases were byproducts of special counsel Robert Mueller's probe of Russian influence on the 2016 election, but a judge who presided over one of them made clear that they had nothing to do with Russian election interference, but rather Manafort's years of "gaming the system."
