Manafort hearing: Judge not buying his fake apology today [View all]

Natasha Bertrand ✔ @NatashaBertrand

Oof. Judge ABJ has called out Manafort over his comments today-- says they seem to have been prompted by the comments he made at the last hearing. Says "elements of remorse and acceptance of responsibility" in submissions so far have been "completely absent."
