President Trump has discussed the potential of granting his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort with a pardon, putting him at odds with White House counsel Don McGahn, according to a report Monday.

Manafort was found guilty last Tuesday on eight counts of bank and tax fraud — charges that did not concern his work with the Trump campaign. A mistrial was declared on 10 other charges brought against him as a result of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
