LAGOS AUGUST 19TH (URHOBOTODAY)-Donald Trump’s embattled campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, resigned Friday, two days after a campaign shake-up that left his power diminished.
“This morning Paul Manafort offered, and I accepted, his resignation from the campaign,” Donald Trump said in a statement. “I am very appreciative for his great work in helping to get us where we are today, and in particular his work guiding us through the delegate and convention process. Paul is a true professional and I wish him the greatest success.”

Manafort had been dogged by increasing questions about his work for a pro-Russian party in Ukraine.
