Donald Trump's former campaign boss has appeared in court accused of conspiring against the US.
Paul Manafort denies the allegation, as well charges of acting as an unregistered foreign agent and conspiracy to launder money, but it's not related to the election.
His lawyer Kevin Downing says it has nothing to do with the White House.
Mr Trump says the alleged offences happened 'years ago'.
Sorry, but this is years ago, before Paul Manafort was part of the Trump campaign. But why aren't Crooked Hillary & the Dems the focus?????
