CHARLESTON, W.Va. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he feels "very badly" for Paul Manafort after his former campaign chairman was convicted on eight felony counts in his federal bank and tax fraud trial.
Trump called it a "sad thing that happened" and said the verdict had nothing to do with him and "nothing to do with Russian collusion."
"I feel badly for Paul Manafort, I must tell you, he was a great man, he was with Ronald Reagan and many people over the years, and I feel very sad about that. It doesn't involve me, but I still feel it is a very sad thing that happened," he said after landing in West Virginia for a campaign rally. "This has nothing to do with Russian collusion."
Trump added of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, "It's a witch hunt and a disgrace."

"The presidency of Ronald Reagan in the United States was marked by multiple scandals, resulting in the investigation, indictment, or conviction of over 138 administration officials, the largest number for any U.S. president."
