WASHINGTON - If you need to get news out of the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, bring plenty of quarters.
On the afternoon of March 7, U.S. President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was wheeled into a ninth-floor courtroom to learn his fate. It was one of the most important days yet in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into whether Trump’s campaign had links to or co-ordinated with Russia during the 2016 election.
After several hours of legal process, it was time for Manafort to address the court. With no audio recorders allowed, reporters scribbled furiously on legal pads and compared notes to see if they had captured his words correctly. Manafort said he had been “humiliated” by the case, but expressed no contrition.
Sullivan retrieved his phone and called the Reuters Washington bureau to report Manafort’s comments. Dunham updated the story and published the latest version for Reuters clients worldwide.
