The judge in Paul Manafort’s fraud trial said Friday he has received threats over the case.
U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III made the comments as the jury deliberated for the second day, and as he rejected a motion to release information about the jurors. He said he's confident the jurors would be threatened as well if their information was public.
Ellis said that because of the threats against him, he travels with U.S. Marshals.
“The Marshals go where I go,” Ellis said.
Ellis was responding to a number of news organizations – the Washington Post, New York Times, AP, CNN, NBC, Politico and BuzzFeed – filing a motion to unseal records in the case, including information about the jurors."

Every normal thinking Americans are well aware that the fake news MSM are the enemy of the American people.
I shutter to think what would happen to these poor Jurors had these propaganda outlets received the info they filed a motion for.
This all started when the Jurors asked the Judge to define "beyond reasonable doubt".
This is looked on as a positive for the defense.
If the Judge would have released the information about the Jurors ... we know what the Left would do ... as Judge T.S. Ellis III stated:
"Rejecting the request about the jury, Ellis said he doesn’t “feel right” about releasing the names of jurors, adding, “to do so would create a risk of harm to them.”
