Judge in former Trump aide Manafort trial under U.S. marshal protection after receiving threats

Security has been stepped up at the Virginia courtroom where the trial of President Donald Trump's former campaign chair Paul Manafort is taking place and jurors deliberated for a second day. The judge is now under the protection of U.S. marshals after receiving threats, and says he will not release jurors' names to the public, as he fears for their safety, too. Manafort is facing 18 charges, including bank and tax fraud. Jury deliberations resume Monday.
