Manafort trial - live updates: Judge TS Ellis says he has received threats over case as jury deliberates verdict

The jury in the trial of Donald Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort head into the second day of deliberations as Robert Mueller and the prosecution prepare for his next trial in Washington DC.

Mr Mueller's team reportedly has more than 1,000 pieces of evidence in the next trial but in the meantime, the jury in the Alexandria, Virginia federal courthouse sent Judge TS Ellis four questions for review.

Among them was a request for the judge to define what "reasonable doubt" in this particular case means.

Legal experts say the jury asking to define this points to the possibility that at least one juror may feel the prosecution did not meet its burden of proof.

The jury also asked Mr Ellis for guidance on the regulations regarding when someone must disclose a foreign bank account to the US Treasury Department and whether the exhibit list could be amended so the jury could see which pieces of evidence corresponded which counts.

The six men and women also asked the judge to clarify the definition of a "shelf company," which is an inactive company often sold to people aiming to bypass the registration process.

If the jury does not reach a verdict on the five counts of filing false tax returns, four counts of failing to disclose his offshore bank accounts, and nine counts of bank fraud today, the trial will carry over into next week.

The former foreign political agent's next trial to take place in the US District Court in Washington DC also includes charges of witness tampering.

Mr Mueller alleged Mr Manafort "repeatedly" contacted two witnesses in an effort to sway their testimony, court documents stated.

The longtime political operative was under house arrest at the time of the suspected contact and as a result, Mr Mueller asked federal judge Amy Berman Jackson to "promptly" reconsider Mr Manafort’s release. She did and Mr Manafort has been in jail ever since the 5 June charge.

FBI Special Agent Brock Domin, in a declaration filed with Mr Mueller’s motion, said Mr Manafort had attempted to call, text, and send encrypted messages in February 2018 to two people from The Hapsburg Group, a firm he had worked with in the past when promoting the interests of Ukraine in the US.

Agents have recovered telephone and text records from Mr Manafort’s iCloud account as evidence of his contact with the two individuals, Mr Domin said.
