An unknown man threw a Russian flag at US President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort as he walked out of court. The video of the incident has flooded social media.

The footage of an elderly man holding a “TRAITOR” sign and throwing a Russian flag at Manafort after a court hearing, has appeared on social media. The protester then followed Manafort to his car yelling “traitor” and accused him of “selling the US to Russia.“

Paul Manafort has pleaded not guilty to additional charges including false tax returns and bank fraud filed against him by US Department of Justice special counsel Robert Mueller. Manafort, who is facing numerous charges related to income from his lobbying work in Ukraine, has requested a jury trial. The trial date is set for July 10.
