"He worked for many, many people," said Trump, citing campaigns for former president Ronald Reagan and vice-presidential candidate Bob Dole.
US President Donald Trump expressed regret after a jury found his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort guilty on fraud charges, describing him as a "good man." Trump expressed regret, but also sought to distance himself from Manafort -- who was instrumental in the 72-year-old securing the 2016 Republican nomination.
"He worked for many, many people," said Trump, citing campaigns for former president Ronald Reagan and vice-presidential candidate Bob Dole.
"It's a very sad thing that happened, this has nothing to do with Russian collusion."
Donald Trump's former campaign chief Paul Manafort was found guilty of fraud Tuesday, in the first trial resulting from the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
While the jury was unable to reach a verdict on ten counts, prompting the judge to declare a partial mistrial, Manafort was found guilty on the eight remaining charges.
