And in a busy evening of news:

Ex-Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort has been found guilty on eight charges of tax fraud, bank fraud and failing to disclose foreign banks accounts.
[...]
Manafort managed Mr Trump's presidential campaign for five months in 2016, and he was in charge when Mr Trump clinched the Republican party nomination.
^Last October, Manafort was charged by special counsel Robert Mueller, who was appointed by the Department of Justice to investigate alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
The Virginia trial was not connected to the US president, but instead dealt with Manafort's political consulting with pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine, largely predating his role with the Trump campaign.
The Ukrainian government found ledgers pledging more than $12m (£9.2m) in cash to Manafort for his advisory work with former President Viktor Yanukovych while he was in office, the New York Times reported.^
It was also alleged Manafort secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to aid Russian President Vladimir Putin's political goals in other parts of the former USSR. Manafort denied that allegation.
