The judge declared a mistrial on the 10 remaining charges.
George Stephanopoulos. Good out. Afternoon we're coming on the air again and any day of bombshell developments in legal situation facing president trumpet his presidential campaign word just in. That is former campaign chair Paul Mann a port has been found guilty. On eight counts of tax evasion and bank fraud he's facing eighteen counts in that trial. When I go straight to our senior justice correspondent at the courthouse Pierre Thomas what's the latest. Doors of dramatic verdict it's just kind of men. Eight counts palm at a Ford has been convicted on eight counts. Five regarding tax evasion charges he's also convicted on a failure to file foreign bank accounts and financial assets count. And also a great bank fraud account as well. So George which are seeing here is the power of the federal prosecutors eighteen counts the judge decided that on the ten counts that they could not get. A jury unanimous vote. Those are declared as of mr. Strauss but he had been convicted on eight counts doors again to power federal. Prosecutor in that there were eighteen counts of this man face he's now going to. Have jail time when at least eight of those counts. Casing several years correction jail one of turnaround in covering the trial as wealthy Pierre Thomas talks with the power federal prosecutor not. A complete Grand Slam home run here for the prosecutors but guilty on eight counts significant blow to Paul man a Ford and president truck. It is a significant development obviously for. Special counsel Robert Mueller this is the first test before a jury of his investigation and it is a partial. Success on those tax crimes that he that palm and a port has just been found guilty of and a bank fraud and the failure to file ownership of a foreign bank account or for an asset but this is also the power the jury system. They were given a very dense very different gold document driven case they sorted through it they came to an agreement. On the prosecution's strongest case have talked to defense lawyers who did think that those tax crimes. They were there were pretty strong of strong case for the prosecution. These other ones are that the jury throughout so how much of an impact this has politically it probably does strengthen. Special counsel Robert Mueller hand he does have a Victor but it also shows that that the jury just in this case shot all of that out and they went. Methodically through the evidence they came to the agreements they could and punted on the rest. And of course Paul Medford also now faces a second trial in Washington DC. I'm several charges including lying to the FBI conspiracy to defraud the United States witness tampering so he is facing even more. Legal trouble going for want to bring in Chris Christie. Who also worked with president trump on that campaign incident outside advisor. After all metaphor was chairman. Chris Christie none of these charges have anything to do with his camp
