I am a trial lawyer. I don’t handle criminal cases but my colleagues tell me this means there is one or more jurors hanging tough-especially if it means coming back on Monday. Unlike civil, Feds need unanimous verdict. Looks promising for Manafort but jurors do relent to peer pressure.
Just speculating that jury votes are being leaked and CNN was asked to try and scare the hold out juror(s). You can be sure any juror who hangs the jury will be vilified.
