The trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort featured testimony from Rick Gates, who admitted to embezzling funds and leading a "secret life" in London. Judge T.S. Ellis criticized the prosecution for focusing on Manafort's expensive clothing and lifestyle. The defense argued that Gates was the primary actor in any financial improprieties, as Manafort did not handle bookkeeping.

Paul Manafort’s defense team is shifting blame for financial irregularities to his former business partner, Rick Gates, accusing him of embezzlement. While Gates has pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the government, the presiding judge has expressed skepticism regarding the prosecution's motives, suggesting the case is designed to pressure Manafort into providing information on Donald Trump. Manafort remains in custody as the trial proceeds in Virginia.

Judge T.S. Ellis challenged the Special Counsel's office during a hearing for Paul Manafort, questioning the relevance of financial crimes from years ago to the Russia investigation. The judge suggested the prosecution was an attempt to exert leverage over Manafort to get to Donald Trump. President Trump later praised the judge's combative stance during a public speech.
